alan mcfall Posted January 8 Share #1 Posted January 8 Advertisement (gone after registration) A 1930 catalog shows a hydraulic motor that can be used to agitate the FIMAN developing drum. Code word is IDROL. Water from the tap is used to operate the motor. I really wonder if this item was produced by Leitz or perhaps adapted by someone who tired of rotating the developing reel. I have never seen or heard of this item, but maybe a forum member has. It is marked Novelty in the photo and is not listed in any of the code word listings I have. In a similar device, Leitz New York offered a later mid-1930's version of an electric agitator for the REELO bakelite tank, code AGITA. Welcome, dear visitor!

luigi bertolotti Posted January 8 Share #2 Posted January 8 (edited) I haven't any doc / catalog quoting the IDROL: by the other side, the US catalog 1934 ( cover "Why Leica ?") lists as FETOR the electric agitator for REELO and CORREX (AGITA would be indeed a much finer code ☺️) Edited January 8 by luigi bertolotti 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
