It took a heck of a long time and a lot of paper to get those tapes right.
Remember how we used to roll them around the fingers? Then hang them on
a peg on the wall? Yep.....dang I've been around a while.

And then the only source was Telex tapes, then that went to glass and the
supplies dried up. Then the prepunched papers got brittle and broke and we
didn't have them backed up on cassette tape (remember that?)

I still have a few pictures in a scrapbook. The only way to reproduce them
these days would be to photograph them, and I should do that before they
expire too. I shed a tear the day my 60 year old antique Model 15, 14 Typing
Reperf and 15TD went to the tip.
