[GreenKeys] Length of tape

Tue, 12 Feb 2002 20:25:55 -0600

Thanks John,
How long is a standard roll of tape whether used on a M19 or M14 Reperf.  I
basically need to know how long in time that a roll of tape runs on a
perforator or  T/D for that matter.  I can figure it from the info you gave
me if I knew the length of the standard roll of tape.  I have a bunch of
rolls but unwinding one to measure it is a waste and besides that I am lazy.
