A 100 foot spool of 35 mm was for amateur cameras, almost all of which switched to 16 mm when it became available (much cheaper), and then 8 mm when film was good enough to support such a small frame, at least on a small screen.
I guess the cameraman can reloaded in a shaded area?

Perhaps the Hollywood pros use small 100 foot spools in "crash cams" that they use to film car crashes and things like that that typically run only a few seconds.
Why would they use 100 foot spools? That's only a little over a minute at 24 FPS. 400 foot is good for 4 min 26 sec and 1000 foot is good for 11 min 6 sec.
The cameraman typically doesn't load film--that's the job of 2nd assistant camera, who is also known as a clapper/loader. They load/unload film spools into the film magazines in big changing bags (although bigger sets sometimes have portable darkrooms).

the equipment used for creating them is old and expensive to operate and inefficient - at least Eastman Kodak's equipment is.
Actually, the 100 foot spools of 35mm were designed for volume portrait studio and identification cameras that took 100 foot rolls, but were in more recent times re-purposed for amateur use.

Microfilm in General used film on spools. Microfilm spools are generally plastic while movie spools are generaly metal. the microfilm spools have extra drive holes for some cameras. getting hard to find.I remember as a kid that some banks had a system that used 16 or 35mm for recording checks you deposited; you endorsed the back and then the teller placed it on a copy-stand like contraption that had two lenses. One of the lenses took an exposure of the check and one was oriented toward the customer and photographed them as well on what I assume was the same frame of film.
Yeah, they are handy for quick estimates!wow, those are neat!
