On many rewind tables, the drive end is motorized. Ideally, the motor should be variable speed and capable of slowly ramping up and ramping down. Single speed motors WILL damage film and should never be used. The motor speed should always be gradually increased and decreased to be gentle on the film. | On many rewind tables, the drive end is motorized.
