Where can I find a chart giving 6mil footage capacity for reels of different diameters, up to 48" or so with, say, 5" hub diameter? Fellow brought by GB 33" diameter floating hub 35mm reel, and I'm curious how much film it should hold.

i remember a formula way way back. Depended on thickness of film + core size. Search and ye shall find.
