Split reels are not recommended 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 loosen and separate if used on a projector. They can also loosen and separate on a rewind table if rewinding is not done at a reasonable speed.
 


It is also advised that you pay attention to the orientation of the split reel halves, so that when it is placed on a rewind spindle it is not rotating in a direction that will cause them to separate. This is unlikely to happen when rewinding film at a reasonable speed, but better safe than sorry.
