There was a loader for these, a rather substantial device to hold the
weight of the reel while winding the film on. I can take a photo of
mine if you want to see how it works. 
 
I have the reel, loader and three nesting tanks. Not daylight tanks,
just dip and dunk in a darkroom. I've never seen that lid part, but I
suspect the tube is for an agitation crank.

      What I forgot to mention also was that the circle with the Nikor
brand is raised slightly off the surface — for drainage? I’ll
definitely try loading some film. But I kinda would think there must be
some other loading device because it’s really pretty heavy and
unwieldy. Thanks for your insights, Scott and Jeff!

Are you sure the tube isn't a drain tube that goes on the bottom of the tank
and the concentric stuff isn't a light lock to allow liquid to go
into the top?

It looks complete to me except for maybe a valve for the drain. There
might be
a loading frame but it might just be loaded by hand. You could try loading it
with some junk print.
