In the age of film at work I used to have to develop direct positive B&W reversal film. I would load two rolls of film on each reel, back to back, and process ten reels (20 rolls) at a time in one gallon clear glass tanks, for 40 minutes in the dark. Don't miss doing that bulk processing, but I still like metal reels.
