That pin retracted when you clicked the shutter, allowing for the film to wind again.
The problem with using cut down 35mm film for 110 use, is you would have too many holes.
Oh...I did not know that. I knew the drive was in the center of the take up spool but I thought the gear turned on the sprockets until it rotated enough to stop the frame. I didn't realize the one sprocket hole did the work. Oh well....

I did use 16mm for Minolta 16. I had a 50 foot roll and probably used less than 10 ft of it...
