Function

For mounting of a film core for winding.

Technical

The Bill Mason collection consists of typical cameras and other equipment in the 16 mm format widely used by documentary film makers in Canada in this period. This is a type of reel with one detachable side, allowing insertion of a film core for winding or running through a viewer, editor, etc. A core is a plastic centre on which a length of film (raw stock, negative, work print, etc.) is wound for storage.
