Stephan:
Re your assumption that the tank has to be filled without regard for the
number of rolls: I think that the several references had to do with the
potency of the developer mentioned (XTOL?).  The Pattersons require 10oz
to cover one roll of 35mm and 17.5 oz for a roll of 120 or 220.  If you
have 5 35mm rolls in a 5 roll Patterson tank, you need 10 oz of solution
for each - 50 oz.  HC-110 dilution B, for example, is strong enough to
develop several rolls of 35mm.  Dilute solutions such as Rodinal 25-1
and others are not.
