I use to 'feed' BRPE's roll after roll of black paper.

The tapes were for the smaller Garner-Denver wire wrap machines, the big
boys still used 80 column cards.

When the engineers gave the go ahead, the final tape was
mylar-aluminum-mylar, that was done on a Remex
punch with carbide pins.

I've got one in rough shape, .. its use ?    For fun, what else  :-)

But at the current price of 1" tape, that fun is very limited.

Would be better if the one I have was 5 level for that reason.
