It probably is a dedicated daylight-loader, right?
In that case there is no room for the 15' development reel, such a 
reel is about twice the diameter as a bulk roll....
Nevertheless would daylight loading be nice for non-IR emulsions....

Oh btw, it just occurred to me that the Linhof unit seems more 
appropriate for bulk loading than the Kindermann: the Linhof has some 
kind of friction device, a thin metal spring, as wide as the film. It 
runs against the outside of the bulkroll, thereby preventing it to 
reel off like a roll of toiletpaper....8-))

Great, we now have 3 loading devices, all with a different 
functionality....:-))
