192 RICHARDSON'S BLUEBOOK OF PROJECTION
Film Reels for Shipment
(61) To protect film while in transit reels must be used that will not bend out of shape easily. Wire reels are excellent in this respect. They are neither rough nor sharply pointed anywhere and do not damage the film. Such reels must also be quickly attachable and detachable with respect to the magazine shaft locking device, and exceptionally strong where it engages it. They must permit the film to be attached to the hub easily and allow it to pull loose easily. They should be as light in weight as is consistent with strength and rigidity.
Projection Room Reels
(62) Each exhibitor should provide a full set of reels to be used in the theatre only during projection. These may be substituted for the exchange reels either when the film is being examined before projection or during projection. Film can be rewound on their shipping reels either during the last projection or when rewinding for shipment after the last projection.
Projection room reels should be kept in good condition and repaired or replaced at the slightest sign of imperfection. No conscientious projectionist, unless he were compelled by conditions or an indifferent manager, would use crooked or damaged reels, risking injury to prints. It is wise to stamp all theatre reels with the name of the theatre and to guard against sending them to the exchange by mistake.
The DeVry spring steel reel, recently put on the market, possesses the attributes of a good, firm, durable projection reel and deserves the consideration of theatre managers and projectionists.
Footage Capacity of Reels
(63) Taking all arguments into consideration, there is a great deal to be said in favor of the 2,000-foot reel both for shipping and for projection. Projectionists have agitated in its favor for a long time and despite objections many continue to use the larger reel.
