I am very interested in problems related to roatary processing with PMK,
but pretty ignorant of the many different kinds of "Jobo" drums being used.
A brief summary of the types of drums available, and how they load, would
be very instructive, for me sure, and for others I think. Reports of actual
use of PMK with the different types would also be very useful.
