[GreenKeys] Gum for joining punched tape

[WA5CAB--- via GreenKeys]

I once had a gadget that looked a little like a desk stapler.  The bottom 
had a 5 or 6-row "bed-of-nails" and the top had matching holes.  Worked with 
chadless tape.  I guess that if you put gum or Mucilage on top of the bottom 
strip, it would have aligned chad tap and squeezed it together, too, but I 
never tried that as all of my perfs and reperfs were chadless.  I have no 
idea what became of it.
