REEL TEN LIST

 

10. The only person more confused in a paper mill than the mill manager is the reel operator. He calls himself a "backtender" but tends the front side of the reel.

9. The only thing more boring than watching grass grow is watching a reel wind paper.

8. A level rail reel with primary arms is like an Italian. It will only work when waving it's arms.

7. The only perfect turnup grows in your garden.

6. I never saw a bumpless transfer but always hoped to see one.

5. In many cases, the level rail reel with primary arms is the only thing that can more efficiently turn perfectly good paper into broke is the  winder operator.

4. Although many do not understand this fact - the level rail reel with primary arms is subject to the same laws of physics as other machines. (Ignorance of the laws is no excuse).

3. If you use the test, "it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, than the reel is probably a winder.

2. If the reel is a winder, it should perform like other machines and use all the laws of physics and tools available.

1. "What goes around, comes around! (Pay attention class!) " The present level rail reel with primary arms is said to being obsoleted by the new generation reel that uses centerwind drives and spool support . That only happened once before about 50 years ago when a similar concept reel, the centerwind reel with spool support obsoleted a previous reel design. It was called a Pope Reel with centerwind attachment.
