Abstract
Abstract A magazine, adapted to hold a reel or the like on which a web material can be stored in roll form, has a housing comprising two separable housing portions for receiving the reel therebetween. One of the housing portions includes a spindle or other device for mounting the reel for rotation within the magazine. The other of the housing portions includes a friction member, such as a compressible pad, which is supported for rotation in firm contact with a reel rotatably mounted in the magazine. Rotation of the friction member manually or otherwise, results in rotation of the mounted reel.
