Testing 16x20 Siver Tank

Testing the 16x20 silver bath for leaks. I should be trying 16x20 ambrotype plates and the 16x20 Chamonix camera later this fall. The tank will require less than 5000ml to fill. Do not know the exact amount of silver nitrate required yet.

Also plan to test a siphon to empty the tank without expensive wasteful silver spillage. It self primes, called the Safety Siphon. If it works will use it with all of the silver tanks. Hope it works for me. I would be an easy solution to an annoying problem (getting the silver bath safely back into its bottle from the tank).
