The US film reel configuration flexes the film (the "other way") during 
its stay on the take-up reel.

The Euro configuration is similar to reel-to-reel tape.  The medium 
always has the same "curl" to it - take-up or supply reel.

IIRC  The Brush SoundMirror tape recorder's take-up reel rotated (CW) 
opposite of the supply reel. (CCW)
