[GreenKeys] Working on the 5/16" paper tape problem for Model 14 machines.

[John Nagle]

    I've been working on sources for 5/16" paper tape for Model 14
KSR and RO machines without perforators.  So far, I have the
following:

1.  I can get such tape made by a paper converter, but the minimum
     order is $800.  I'm getting a sample.

2.  Various slitting devices are available for automobile pin-striping
     and such.  Most are razor-blade based, and none are very good.

3.  5/16" is 7.94mm, so 8mm paper tape should work.  8mm paper tape is
     used in the semiconductor industry for packaging low-value surface
     mount parts.  It's called "unpunched carrier tape".  There are
     many suppliers, but the stock tends to be quite thick.
