Some of the older plastic developing tanks with adjustable reels have a
setting for 116/616 film.  See if you can find one on ebay. 

Lacking one of these you can develop the file by see-sawing it through a
tray of developer.  In total darkness unroll the film from the spool and
remove the paper backing.  Attach a film clip to each end and allow the
film to assume a U-shaped curve.  Place the middle of the film into the
tray and alternately lower and raise one end so that all portions if the
film come in contact with the developer.  Continue to do this for the
entire development time.  Similarly for the stop bath and fixer.  Leave
the clips on and place the film in a large tray for washing.

This was fairly standard practice years ago.  It would be a good idea to
practice this technique on an old roll of 120 film.

I have a roll that I have been wanting to develop that I found in a
camera 
that was given to me.  I have not done anything with it to date as I do
not 
have a reel to develop it on...

Does anyone know where I could acquire a reel to accomidate 616 film?

Thanks!
Speedy
