Each reel member is provided with a series of circumferentially spaced barrel sections having at their extremities tongues which engage cooperating slots on the inner side of the opposite reel member. This inner side is provided with stepped surfaces in which these slots are provided so that the reel members may be interlocked in any one of these stepped surfaces so as to provide a reel with various spacings between flange portions of the reel members.
