From: Walt Lazear <lazear@mitre.ARPA> This may be terribly naive, but why not have a dummy pair of reels acting in mirror image to compensate for the changing gyroscopic effect of shifting film from one reel to another. It's extra weight and drive mechanism, but should be easy to replicate the *real* reels.
