[Leica] 35mm Stainless Steel Reels

[ricc at mindspring.com (Ric Carter)]

I always went into center of the reel between the spring and center.  
The film base was against the point of the spring, not wedged between  
it and the post. I guess I was just ignoring the spring which struck  
me as worse that worthless.

I don't know who made them, but just never used the spring.
