cant you load 2 rolls of 120 on 1 metal reel?

I've talked to folks who load 2 rolls of 120 back to back. They take two strips of 120, put them together emulsion side out, and spool them on like a single roll. It seemed too complicated for me. I just bought a bigger tank, that'll hold more reels.

I have a couple of 220 size reels. I tried loading 2 120 rolls on one after the other. Big mistake. Without the clip to hold the second roll a few inches crept off the reel, and got scratches rubbing between the reel and the tank during agitation.

While cruising Ebay looking for treasure I found a dip-n-dunk tank that held 18 120 reels. I got it for $10. I don't use it very often (twice so far), but 18 120 SS reels for $10 was a pretty good deal.
