I've also done the paper negative business, back in the early 70s, with my 
venerable (and lamentably departed) Kodak 2D 8x10, a Goerz Dagor Red Dot, 
and Packard shutter.  I ran a test neg by incrementally pulling the dark 
slide and noting the exposure range (though I can't claim any great 
accuracy with the Packard shutter).  Kyle's estimate of ASA 8-10 sounds 
about right.  I used a single weight Agfa paper (though I can't remember 
which one), and contact printed it in a glass carrier (to press the papers 
together tightly).  Images were soft, but beautiful in their own way--and 
way cheap in the scheme of things.

Great lot of fun that was.

Cheers,

C
