ABSTRACT:
A spool for developing (and optionally drying) strip-shaped film material has a core and two axially spaced end flanges provided with many large cut-outs so as to leave only a few narrow, spoke-like portions of material. A pair of inserts is provided which are placed against the outer sides of the respective end flanges and have projecting plug-like portions which enter the respective cut-outs. The inner surface of each of these plug-like portions has a plurality of major fragments of the turns of a spiral groove. The inner surfaces of the spoke-like portions have spot-support portions defining on each spoke-like portion a plurality of minor fragments of the turns of the same spiral groove, so as to complete the groove when the plug-like portions are inserted into the cut-outs. The film strip or strips is (or are) then inserted into the groove to spirally surround the core. Thereafter, the inserts are detached from the spool and can be immediately used to load another spool. This leaves the film material held only by the spot supports so that no shading will occur during development of the film or films.
