I have received documentation about their products, I don't think 
they make tanks at all, only SS reels and other SS stuff.
I once asked on the Rollei list why those where claimed to be better
than Kindermann; one reason was that they fitted Jobo drums better.
But 70mm is problematic probably, because of its film length/reel
diameter.
