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
