I have just finished printing some 616 negatives, vintage 1938.  The actual
size of the 616 negative is 78mm, and the image is 72mm across.  The take
up spool is 82mm inside measurement.  The spool of the SUPERB Adjustable
Developing Tank accepts film up to 75mm across.  It looks to accomodate a
220 size roll in length. The bakelite developing tank looks to be
impervious to anything, including time.
