"Kodak Adjustable Tank" and 4x5 film?

[eli griggs]

I have a new to me, "Kodak Adjustable Tank" that I have yet to try out. It is a round, steel daylight tank with a plastic top and two center posts, indexed and marked #1 and #2 for the 'reel'. The reel is a top and bottom affair that has slots for cut film; each side of the top and bottom are able to load several pieces of cut film.

What I'd like to know is what are all the sizes this will do and most especially if it will do 4x5 and how many to load? What tips can you offer on using this particular tank?

If you know of a PDF or web site that has this info I'd like to know about that too.

As I've indicated, I don't have any literature on this that I'm aware of, so I'd appreciate it if anyone knows if it is mentioned in the Morgan and Morgan or old Kodak booklets on film development, I have a lot of these on hand I've not looked at yet.

By-the-way, I'd also be interested in finding another of these as it seems very handy, so if you have one that needs using, PM me please.

Cheers

One more note; I just found a thread that mentions this tank and the fact it came with a piece to assist loading, I believe I have this as well it is a small steel tool with several rods between top and bottom. Does that sound correct to those familiar with this tank?

Cheers
