Films reels

[Maurice Leakey]

It is a 400ft spool for standard 8 film. The width of 3/8" is about 10mm.

Maurice is of course correct. After having a second look at the picture, I realised I had been confused by the tape measure used. Mystery solved.

I have tried to put them in an 8mm projector but the center diameter is larger. Hence my doubt as to which projector it corresponds to.

[Brian Fretwell]

That's what made me think the could have been adapted to fit Super 8 projectors not standard 8. Do you mean they are bigger than that?

[Dominique De Bast]

Rodrigo, on which projector did you try ?

[John Burgess]

That’s a 400ft super 8 reel !

Hi, I have found some film reels that are for a larger than 8mm diameter input but they are not 16mm or 9.5mm or super 8. Does anyone know what format they may be?

Rodrigo says above that they are not for Super8.

I was wrong. I'm sorry
