Elias--
The easiest way is to find an old roll of 616 film, unwind it and
throw away the old film, being careful not to tear the paper backing
when you remove the film. Then, takea fresh roll of 120 and take the
film out of the paper backing and attach it to the 616 paper backing
with a piece of masking tape. Then carefully rewind it backwards onto
the 616 spool. When you attach the 120 film, you'll put it onto the
center of the 616 paper as best as you can. I've found that
exactitude is not really necessary at this step. You might want to
put thin pastic strips across the focal plane for flatness, but that's
not even necessary for a one-time experiment. The winding problem is
solved because you are using the correct paper backing for the camera.
The length of 120 film is shorter than 616, so you might get one or
two fewer exposures, but this works well. I have used this system,
most often on 127 cameras by inserting a length of 35mm film on 127
backing paper.
Taking out the old 616 film can be done in daylight, but inserting the
new roll of 120 must of course be cone in complete darkness. You
might want to waste a roll of 120 and try it in daylight just to
practice.
If you have trouble finding a roll of 616, I'm not sure but I may have
one I can give to you. Let know.
