16mm film reels are about that size. They type used in the camera. Not exactly obviously but pretty darn close.

All replies should go directly to John Sullard. Larry --------- We are currently working on 1cm wide superconducting tape at the Superconducting Technology Center here at Los Alamos National Lab. We are having trouble finding tape reels to archive tape samples ten to twenty meters long. Here are the dimensions that would be ideal, .4" wide to .5" wide between the flanges, 1" to 2" hub diameter, and 3.25" total diameter of flanges. Any material would be acceptable, plastic preferred. Do they make anything like this? Who would be a good vendor for this type of item? Any help you can offer is appreciated.
