The term "spool" may originate with the Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On-Line [2] [3] (SPOOL) software; [4] this derivation is uncertain, however. Simultaneous peripheral operations on-line may be a backronym. [5] [verification needed] Another explanation is that it refers to "spools" or reels of magnetic tape, although “spool” is an ...
In offshore applications, huge lengths of rope are often housed on drums. The anchor winches on Saipem's Semac 1 pipe laying barge, for example, each hold 2,800 metres of 76mm (3 inch) diameter wire rope in 14 layers. Saipem's Castorone, the world's largest pipe laying vessel uses a wire rope that is 3,850m long and 152mm in diameter. It weighs ...

Film is commonly checked for broken sprocket holes before presentation, a process known as "spooling". Mechanical devices exist for this purpose, but the classic method is to place the finger and thumb of a gloved hand on the edges of the film, which is mounted on a winding bench, and to slowly run the film through the fingers, feeling for snags.
A standard Hollywood movie averages about five 2,000-foot reels in length. The "reel" was established as a standard measurement because of considerations in printing motion picture film at a film laboratory, for shipping (especially the film case sizes) and for the size of the physical film magazine attached to the motion picture projector.
