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)
