A split reel | [[File:Split-reel-35mm.jpg|right|thumb|300px|A 35mm split reel. This photo shows the two halves of the split reel, with a [[core]] holding a small amount of 35mm film on the half on the left.]] | ||
A '''split reel''' is used when handling film stored on a [[core]]. In exhibition settings, they are used to transfer film from storage on cores to [[Reels|show reels]] for projection. They exist for all [[film gauges]]. | |||
See also | Split reels are not suitable for projection. The two halves of a split reel are only held together by the threaded spindle in the center of the reel, and they can easily loosen and separate if used on a projector, leading to catastrophic film damage. | ||
