If this is like my 11x14 Beseler drum it has a trough in it to hold
the chemistry before starting to agitate. The trough is attached to
the bottom of the drum which is removable, that is, both ends can be
removed. Removing the trough makes it easier to load the drum
especially when a number of small prints are to be processed.
The drum has a fixed, permanent separator along the side and grooves
for removable separators. The removable separators are used for
smaller prints. If the drum is complete there should also be small
separators which clip onto the fixed separator to keep which are
shorter than the drum apart.
You're right, the bottom end can be removed, too. I had not tried! Once
the trough is removed it's easier to understand that it is actually
meant to hold the chemicals before agitation. The container inside was
actually ANOTHER drum, a Cibachrome Mark II, 11 inches, with both caps
missing. Weird. I see no trace of removable separators, but I won't need
them anyway. The rest of your explanation makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for the help, I'll give this new toy a try as soon as I can.
