I have a Prewar and Postwar take-up spool before
me now and there is no difference in height, just in construction.
You would do best to get a Contax cassette to use
as a take-up spool in any event. That way, you
can open the camera in the middle of a roll if
you want to change film types. Peter K may not
like the Contax but it was a mighty flexible system camera!
