I've been using exptert drums for 4x5 for probably 1500 sheets now, with
the reversing Beseler base, without a problem or inconsitancy, so I'd
not be too worried about the fact it doesn't complete a rotation before
reversing...I have never processed using mono-rotation, but I would
hazard that it would be more likely to cause problems...any comments on
that thought?
