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.
