Sid, Ilford publish a Technical Information booklet (Ref TI610) for their Multigrade papers which gives the filtration settings for a number of enlargers, and say that most enlarger manufacturers use Agfa, Durst or Kodak filtration values. Unfortunately, they do not cite either Rollei or Saunders, but that may be because the booklet is designed for the Australian market. It may be that, if you can find a copy locally, you will also find the information you need?
