I'll have to check, but I don't remember there being anything other than
two rollers, but then I wasn't looking for a divider. The tray is about 3
feet long, and maybe 1 foot wide.

No, there is only a timer, a switch that trips the timer, and another
toggle that doesn't "seem" to do anything as far as I can tell. I'll have
to take it apart to see how things are wired I guess.
It is obviously some sort of contact printer, but I'm not sure for what
kind of process. Since the bulbs are incandescent, I would assume that
there is not enough UV for alt processes or blueprint making. Perhaps the
yellow painted tops on the bulbs help to even out the light? I was hoping
that someone on the list may have heard of the Photorapid company
(Belgium?), and could tell me more about it.
