Reel

A reel is an object around which lengths of another material (usually long and flexible) are wound for storage. Generally a reel has a cylindrical core and walls on the sides to retain the material wound around the core. In some cases the core is hollow, although other items may be mounted on it, and grips may exist for mechanically turning the reel.

Construction

The size of the core is dependent on several factors. A smaller core will obviously allow more material to be stored in a given space. However, there is a limit to how tightly the stored material can be wound without damaging it and this limits how small the core can be.

Other issues affecting the core size include:

  • Mechanical strength of the core (especially with large reels)
  • Acceptable turning speed (for a given rate of material moving on or off the reel a smaller core will mean that an almost empty reel has to turn faster)
  • any functional requirements of the core e.g.
    • For a reel that must be mechanically turned the size of the grips that mount it on the mechanical turning device.
    • The size of the mountings needed to support the core during unwinding.
    • Anything mounted on the cores (e.g. the sockets on an extension reel)
  • Reel (horse)

    Reel was a thoroughbred race horse, and one of the greatest American Thoroughbred broodmares in history.

    Racing career

    Reel was born in Alabama at the farm of James Jackson, although both her sire and dam were imported from England. Before he was purchased by James Jackson's stud farm, Reel's sire Glencoe won the 2,000 Guineas and Ascot Gold Cup during his English racing career. Glencoe was not only was the sire of Reel, but also of the great broodmare Pocahontas, considered to be one of the most important female lines in history. Through Pocahontas, his is the blood that runs through three great sires and racehorses: Stockwell, Rataplan, and King Tom (horse). In America, Glencoe was the leading sire in 1847, 1849, 1850 and from 1854 to 1858, inclusive.

    During his first American season in 1837, Glencoe covered Galopade. She had already produced two fillies that would become successful broodmares when crossed to Glencoe: Fandango and Cotillion (both by Leviathan). Galopade had been bred by Colonel King, and was imported to Canada in 1836, before James Jackson purchased her. Her sire, Catton, was also sire to Trustee (father of the mare Fashion and other great horses). Galopade was one of the most productive mares ever bred. Her three great daughtersFandango, Cotillion, and Reelextend into the bloodlines of many winners of today.

    The Real Me

    by: The Who

    I went back to the doctor
    To get another shrink.
    I sit and tell him about my weekend,
    But he never betrays what he thinks.
    Can you see the real me, doctor?
    I went back to my mother
    I said, 'I'm crazy ma, help me.'
    She said, 'I know how it feels son,
    'Cause it runs in the family.'
    Can you see the real me, mother?
    The cracks between the paving stones
    Look like rivers of flowing veins.
    Strange people who know me
    Peeping from behind every window pane.
    The girl I used to love
    Lives in this yellow house.
    Yesterday she passed me by,
    She doesn't want to know me now.
    Can you see the real me, can you?
    I ended up with the preacher,
    Full of lies and hate,
    I seemed to scare him a little
    So he showed me to the golden gate.
    Can you see the real me preacher?
    Can you see the real me doctor?
    Can you see the real me mother?
    Can you see the real me?
