I have an Ebony 8x10 with a very nice reducing plate; however, no graflock mechanism for holding the film magazines. Any ideas about attaching such, or am I simply ignorant regarding the use of this rather unusual looking plate?

Looks like it's been swiped.
It came with a secondary reducing adapter that is great for those Horseman 2x3 rollfilm backs, but I wanted to shoot some 4x5 sheets for calibration if possible. I didn't see any graflock type mechanism on the Ebony website.
Yep you need to find the 4x5 GG attachment frame for this. You can check eBay, or call an Ebony shop that sells this to see if you can buy a replacement. OR, perhaps someone here has a spare?
You need something like this that fits an Ebony:

The reducing back should look like this ... something's missing!
I think you need to add one of these?
I sold the reducing plate to Alex - I bought it without the GG assembly because I used an Ebony 4x5 too. He needs a GG assembly for a 4x5 Graflock style back. It's a reducing plate - not a complete reducing back.
That does clarify the mystery gentelman. Don certainly informed me on the front end that he did not have a 4x5 graflock. I'm guessing I'll need to pick one of those up at a dealer because it seems unlikely I'll find that part sold alone here or on Ebay.
