[LargeFormat] A better way

[Les Newcomer]

the non expert tank hold the film on a modified reel.  lots of room for 
film but not much developer.  the expert drums look like the cylinder of 
a revolver, 2 sheets max per chamber, 10 sheets max per drum.  the drum 
is a lot larger dia, holds more developer. i used them on an atl 3  that 
is now for sale with lots of drums expert and other for $1800 because 
the photog went all digital.
