Well... don't ask me to do it now... :-)

George Nakamura (my roommate at Brooks) and I did it and it worked. First
time was really tough. But it got easier with practice. This was in 1960. I
wouldn't do it now. My JOBO reels take two 120's end to end now. I use 220.

New song?? End-to-End.

Back to back, belly to belly, end to end, top to bottom... oops!

NO UV

The problem with 120 back to back was the large distance between spirals.
Was easy to get the top film out of place. You'll do anything when you're
poor and pushed for time...
