Pulled out the bulkfilm loader I bought years ago, but never used, and found it loaded with film !

Pulled out 8" in my dark tent and developed it as if it were HP5+. I can see the faint outline of the frame numbers, but the top edge shows signs of light leak. The only words I can see on this top edge is "SAFETY FILM".

I'll probably develop the next bunch as though it were old TX, but anyone help me guess what it may be ?

Thanks,
Ron

Found something else in the murk of the top edge. ILFORD DELTA 100.

Interestingly enough, it has no code markings on the bottom edge, just the frame numbers. Could this have been an early incarnation ?

I found an almost full roll of Panatomic-X in a bulk loader I bought awhile back, its rebate read "Kodak Safety Film 5060".
Another loader in the set was loaded with Technical Pan per a taped label on the loader, it had nothing printed in the rebate area.
Another loader was filled with Tri-X and it's rebate read "Tri X Pan".

That may or may not help you.

It's such a bonus to find a batch of film in the loader !
Tech Pan would have been neat, but I'll take 25 year old ilford delta.
From my research, I'm dating the film at 1992/3.
