Tim, I had one of those - a Baby Speed in 2x3 format with a
Graflok back. The 2x3 rollholder was the same size as a
filmholder and had a couple of slots that the tabs on the
Graflok back slid into. Shoot one roll, pull the rollholder
off and put a fresh one on. Came in knob and lever wind
versions. The 4x5 version had the rollholder permanently
mounted on that large adapter plate which then mounted on
the 4x5 back. A lot more cumbersome.

I always forget something. Calumet made a 120/220 roll
holder for 4x5 cameras that will fit a standard spring back,
at least most of the time. I find it will not clear the
"ears" on the older wooden Graphic spring back but works
fine on the later metal backs. The locking strips on the
Graflok back improve the stability of the holder. BTW, the
Grafmatic will tend to pull out of standard spring backs
when changing films and really needs the lock strips on the
Graflok and Graflex backs.
