Hello John,

Regarding:
  5/16" paper tape for Model 14 and 2B KTP (Keyboard Tape Printer) and  
ROTP (Receive Only Tape Printer) machines

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.

				
I am wondering how thick is "quite thick."  I would be happy to try  
some in my WUTCo 2B KTP
Somewhere here I have the Bell manual "stationery supplies  
specifications for Teletypewriters."
Now to find it..!

Best,
Don
