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. | Split reels are not recommended for projection.

Split reels usually have a metal pin next to the hub that helps to hold the core in place. Sometimes you will run across a core and a split reel that will not fit together. You may need to try another split reel or get creative to fix this situation (whether by hand-winding film onto a new core, carefully filing down the pin, or something we haven't thought of). | Split reels usually have a metal pin next to the hub that helps to hold the core in place.
