The below listed run times are for 16mm and are approximate.

 100 ft.  =	3 min.
 200 ft.  =	6 min.
 300 ft.  =	9 min.
 400 ft.  =	12 min.
 500 ft.  = 15 min.
 600 ft.  =	18 min.
 700 ft.  =	21 min.
 800 ft.  =	24 min.
 900 ft.  =	27 min.
1000 ft.  =	30 min.
1100 ft.  =	33 min.
1200 ft.  =	36 min

I use: 	400 ft. reels for films 10 min. or less
	800 ft. reels for films 10 to 20 min.
       1200 ft. reels for films 21 to 30 min.
       1600 ft. reels for films 31 to 45 min.
       2000 ft. reels for films 46 to 60 min.
       2200 ft. reels for films 61 to 75 min.
