You mean the write rings? They're fixed at the hub size....
No, I meant the circumferential hangers.
Since I occasionally processed my own movie film, I usually had plenty of
the light-tight cans that the blank film was shipped in. But, usually
only 100 foot reels, so too small for tape.
Large reels didn't cost MUCH, but it added up.
Some people would scrap old films for the reels, cans, and shipping boxes.
(such as old Doctor Who episodes that probably wouldn't be aired again)

Yes but "%20" is the form of escape intended for use with http, not for email.
For email, it should be "=20" and if such escaped characters are included in a
subject line, this is supposed to be indicated by the subject field starting
with a sequence like "=?charset?Q?" to flag the use of what is called quoted
printable encoding.

%20 is an escaped form of the space character. Some mail
programs escape all control characters, or even anything
like {} ~.

It's due to the use of "standardized" character encoding.
ASCII, UTF-8, Unicode, . . .
"Standards are wonderful; everybody can have a unique one of their own."
I asked one of my classes to look up what "standard" means -
one student came up with a definitive answer: apparently it is a flag on
a tall pole. Any definitions having to do with conformation between
systems are now deprecated.
You mix that with an HTML browser program attempting to be an email
client, . . .
This particular sort of mess often occurs when somebody uses a character
that isn't part of the basic set.
The subject line mentioned half inch. SOME program "did a favor" for its
user, and changed "1 / 2" to a single character for one half.
And/or took the symmetrical character abreviation for inch, and changed
that, since "OBVIOUSLY, left, right, and center double quote characters
are not the same".

Just like the *smart* fpga development program I am using.
A gizillon stupid warnings and smart ass stuff like: "You using a D
flop/flop with preset converting to inverted D flip/flop with clear."
Yet at the same time don't even warn you if IT THINKS it can remove
whole blocks of logic or warn about .CLK input to a D flip flop is missing.
Testing a CPU with a small program ROM input, and it figured it could
"remove"stuff. IR[3..2] is stuck at 0 and removing. ARG!
