While things are both cold and ugly out there I thought I throw this
out to the group most likely to know...
Morse was a company that made many things for the US Government during
WWII and the Korean War.
On of their more interesting items is a large daylight tank for 5x7
film. Officially called the Model 507 it had a light trap in the
bottom. You loaded the film on 5x7 hangers closed the lid and then you
could process your film in 8x10 deep tanks (3.5 gallon) with the lights
on.
And while one could certainly process 4x5 film on 4x5 hangers or 2 up
4x5/5x7 hangers, I was wondering if anybody knows if they made a 4x5
version of this beast. Watching ebay has only produced confused
results. Some say theirs only did 4x5, but they could have been saying
that because that's the hangers that came with it.
