Dave:

I used to contact print B&W negatives onto Kodak Fine Grain Release Positive
film.  This is a blue-sensitive film that can be printed like normal paper
and processed in print developer.  This film is used for making b&w motion
picture prints.  I think the shortest length is 100 ft.  You may be able to
get some from a motion picture lab.  I think I have some in work that was
bought for leader but it must be 10-15 years old.

You can also shoot it in a camera and see what old-time blue sensitive film
looked like.  I think the speed was about ISO 3-6.
