There was once, on this forum, a discussion about tank brands. I
liked the Nikor (not sure about spelling) best but as I recall most
of the comments about that brand said they leaked. Never had that
problem, and I enjoyed the capability of putting the tank into a
water bath (between flips or agitation, whatever was popular any
given week) to hold the temperature.

The spelling is correct (though mine say Honeywell Nikor). I never had
a leak problem, and suspect that real problem was that lids and caps
were not 100% interchangeable so if you had several it was possible to
get a mismatch.

This thread started me looking for my Paterson "Contact Proof Printer
6x6cm size". Found it right away in the drawer I had seen it last,
together with the empty Nikor tank and reel boxes, my late lamented
Rollei 35's manual, a couple of HP calculator and Palmtop PC boxes, and
a couple of K&E Duplex Decitrig slide rules they replaced. It was like
opening a time capsule...

Rollei List


Too much of my life is in cardboard boxes in storage garages. I probably need to get rich.
I have before me a Picket Model N803-ES log-log, dual base, Speed Rule (tm), also says Synchro Scale on the other end. Its in a nice leather case. I still use the thing. I also have an old Mannheim type slide rule made by Fredrick Post. This dates to about junior high school (now I think called middle school), a time I was a whiz at math. I can't add a column of figures now. I keep hoping someday someone will develop a pill that will bring it all back.
If people really cared about language they would fall over laughing.
