rolls
The same reference I mentioned earlier (Focal Press) describes the process in this way: '... the wide roll of film is slit into the appropriate widths .... a single large roll will yield 30 to 40 strips of 35 mm film...'
I wonder if your French text is a translation from some other language and the use of 'axe' might be incorrect.

jumbos / jumbo sections
You learn something every day! "Jumbo" is said of large rolls of many products, it appears. Not quite sure what to call the "tronçons".
A jumbo is a roll of bulk film which weighs about 2,000 pounds and is about five feet in width, four feet in diameter, and 8,000 feet in length. The film in the roll is about seven millimeters in thickness.
In the United States, the jumbo is transformed into "pancakes" by dividing it into 38 pancakes of a width of 35 millimeters and 83 pancakes of a width of 16 millimeters, each pancake being four feet in diameter. Each pancake is perforated with perforations of an exact size and spacing to permit the proper alignment in a camera and the transporting of the film in and out of the cassette during the picture-taking process.
