Paterson Auto Load Reel .

A spare reel for the Paterson tank system. Useful if you develop more than two rolls at a time, or if you want a backup.

The reel adjusts to cover 35mm, 120, and the less common 126, 127, and 220 formats. Loading works by twisting the two halves of the reel back and forth — the ball-bearing ratchet catches the film and draws it in. It's designed to load even when slightly damp, which matters if your reel hasn't fully dried between sessions.

If you have the Universal Tank (PTP115) and want to develop more rolls, this reel fits straight in. Same if you're building up a set for the Multi-Reel 5 tank.
