Now that's poetry, Ole!

Kodak cores in a small mag are fine as long as you don't load too much 
film onto them. I personally wouldn't run the small ones with any more 
than 50 meters/160 feet. If you do the math, 54 meters is right around 
177 feet, which is a little too large for my tastes.

I guess I'll have to start making sure the site has both feet AND meters 
for ALL measurements to make sure no one runs into any issues. We 
Americans often forget how we are still holding onto the archaic way of 
measuring things, while the rest of the world has moved on...

Hope you didn't damage your motor.
