Dick the 2b uses smaller than 3/8 by
a bit... John Nagle has some he ordered a bunch from
china... none of these stuff is gummed must gummed
stuff is stuck together.

Wow, thanks for that link! And thanks too for the information on the tape size. We were not certain on the size so that's important information.
-----
we want to demo this stuff like they used to use it!
-----
Yes, exactly! There is a YouTube video of a guy at the Marconi Museum as the former site of WCC printing tape on a 2B, using the moistener like an expert (he clearly did it in an earlier life) and using gummed tape like he had it to burn!
-----
we have one of the glass wetting thingisis but only
one happy to photo it in detail if you want to
build one ... pretty funny got it with a bunch of W U stuff and did
not know what it was until I asked the old time folks
here!

Thank you for that kind offer. Yes, we would very much like to see photographs of the thingisis since we have only seen it in the above video.
Regards,
RD
