    Strange film holder--what is it?

    I got a couple of these in an Ebay purchase. Does anyone have any idea what they could be? This appears to be a factory job, in that the paint on the edges of the holes through the holder appears original. The structure is: filters on one darkslide, then under that a very thick steel plate with a ramp at one end and a hole in it for the filters to show through. Then a similar hole all the way through to the other side, but no filters on the other side. The shadow around the hole in the steel plate is gassing from a strip of tape that's on the backs of the filters

    The holders are normal wood Graflex type 5 holders, otherwise.
