Is this the one with the near UV argon bulbs? Has more switches than a B-29? They used these in WWII for rush printing aerial film, big 10x ?Does anyone have a Morse Contact Printer?

I know Morse made big long roll developing tanks for the USAAF.
I have a couple of Arkay Speed Dodge printers, one has the argon lamps, incredibly fast. Will expose slow enlarging paper in under a second, these were designed for high speed production work with slow silver chloride contact paper. Even with Kodak Azo, or Fomalux, Lupex expect 2 to 4 second exposure times. Those machines are beautiful because obviously you can switch each bulb independently. Be careful, wires may have a bit of asbestos cloth, maybe not.
Thank you so very much! Now I know what the specific switches control! My machine is the same, yet an older model. Almost identical, yet never had a counter. Mine is missing the take up and supply cranks, as well as the filter crank handles. My machine is obviously made for the cranks and filters shown and described in the book. A previous owner must have lost or removed the crank handles and supports. Thank you for taking the time to send me that link. Would you know where to get the equivalent manual for the Air Force? Thank you!http://militarynewbie.com/wp-conten...aphy-course-Laboratory-Procedures-SS05091.pdf

Thank you for your help.Multiple lamps contact copy boxes were standard, though the morse model seeems to have extreme many lamps.
That Argon thing does not refer to discharge lamps but to plain simple incandescant lamps.
Here is a PDF of the manual for a Morse M-21 contact printer. I believe this version is the 'civilian' model, as it doesn't offer provisions for holding aerial film. The contact printer is designed to use AR-1 Argon gas discharge bulbs, which emit primarily in the UV spectrum.
