A Newsreel Identifier comprises a ring, with a centre cutouts, attached to which is a uniquely identifiable transponder (A). The device attaches around the outside edge of the Newsreel core thereby allowing holding chucks of a reelstand to pass through. By suitable positioning of the transponder's related antenna onto the Reelstand, not only the Newsreels identity but also its rotational movement can be recorded enabling press speed and copy count values also to be recorded (Fig 5). The ring may have a transponder-sized recess to enable stacking (Fig 6).
