Thanks for the great advice!  For starters, I decided to use 120 film and 
keep it in the plastic spools, instead of respooling it onto 616.  To make 
it fit, I'll insert one rawl plug in one end of each spool.  I'm really 
looking forward to making photos with my friend's late great-uncles old 
folder.  

As I am not sure what it's marked aperture stops are (the marks only read 1, 
2, 3, and 4)  , I decided to use Ilford's chromagenic film, XP2 Super.  They 
say that because that film has three special layers, one can expose at 25 
ISO for some shots, 1000 for the next, and have some 400 and even 800s in 
between.  It sounds like a miracle, but I will give it a spin.
