Les:

Thanks for the reply. I had thought that, but had dropped the idea as I
hadn't thought of it's use in an enlarger or copy camera.  Thanks for
looking it up in that catalog.

Same for Whatis-2 I would imagine.  A sort of negative carrier which can
be rotated whilst in the enlarger or copy camera.
