Hi Carl,
Here's a link to some photos of the loader:

Not sure if I've set it up correctly, or there aren't parts missing,
but it works. I'm sure you could rig something up with rewinds and a
rod to guide the film in at the right angle.
Looking at the tanks, I think one of them originally had the centre
tube but it's been removed and the hole brazed up with a metal patch.
They sat in the original owner's basement since the 70s, when he did
light shows and film loops for psychedelic bands.
Cheers,
Todd

Thanks, Todd — I’d love to see a picture. You can send it to
me off-list if you’d like: c...@buffalo.edu… Am I understanding you
correctly — on your set-up, there’s no lid for the three tanks?

Subject: Re: [Frameworks] help identifying this film tank
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.
