Wow, just "wow". I finished looking over the forums after a very loooong week at work. First, to answer Mick's question: of COURSE it means a small plastic hub at the center of a film sans projection reels , designed specifically to be used in a split reel process. BUT...ohhhhh: BUT! I looked over the arguments, and must say the conversations trivialized the concept, a tad, yes, about what a core is, and actually is and what is the True Definition of The Core and, lo, they fragmented into tangents of silly bits featuring even someone's comment about an apple WITHOUT a core is "cored" so therefore, etc, and then various people began mentioning, for reasons known only to them, the concept of Xerox photostatic copies and Laz-E Boy recliners and putting movie films on record players and then, oh my--THEN--to top it ALL off; I see "The Young Lad's" CHALLENGE!!!!! Put us in our place, Young Lad, and give us a worthy quest to PROVE what a core is, or find a book, or go on the internet or whatever that gibberish was supposed to mean for us to do. Well, to better the field of collecting, I shall take up The Challenge that "The Young Lad" throws down at us, hoping, as I am oft to do with my inquisitive soul, to meet The Challenge and therefore cause The Young Lad to publicly apologize on other forums to someone named "Micheal O Reagan" (not to be confused with Ronald R. Reagan, who acted in movies and didn't, as far as I know, collect them.). So, I'm off, tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe when I feel like it, forearmed with knowledge of the air - speed velocity of an unladen swallow, both the European and the African Swallow, yea, and I can recite the four capitals of Assyria, just in case.
