Determining Nodal Point for Swing Lens Camera?

[Kino]

I know I could find the nodal point of a lens with much experimentation and hacked up mounts, but was wondering if anyone knew a simple trick to at least put me in the ballpark as to the appropriate nodal point for swing lens panoramic photography?

thanks

Here are a couple of sites than deal with the swing lens camera and how the lens must be positioned. I've been toying with the idea of making a 120 format swing lens camera at some point.
