I will describe them as best I can. They are about 1/4 inch thick and about 1" x 2" rectangle. There are cutouts that fit into the double track on the inside top of the drum. In practice, 2 sheets of 4x5 film (or 1 sheet of 4x10) are loaded into the drum then this rubber seperator is put into the double track, and the remaining film is loaded. I have used this for quite some time with 4x5 and 4x10 film with good results. If my description was too vague, PM me and I will send a picture.
There are maybe some available in the photo "junk shops" if you can find them. Good luck.
