Talk:Split reel
Nub - I've only heard of this referred to as a pin (like the drive pin on a spindle). Is "nub" common usage? When the core doesn't fit the pin, the the easiest way to resolve the issue (besides discarding the core) is to grind down the core rather than filing down the pin. Alternatively, if a film transfer flange is available with either a key or a pin on the hub, that can be used instead of a split reel.
Flange Spinning Off - This can be avoided by considering how the wind orientation relates to the hub threading. If the reel is being rotated in the direction that would tighten the threading, you don't have to worry about the flange separating during rewind/playback.
