The tape for the Burroughs 220 drives was not
metallic. It was 3/4-inch wide, and I think a Mylar sandwich. It could be spliced much the
same way you would have spliced quarter-inch reel-to-reel audio tape back in the day.
The Datamatic 1000 tapes were definitely a Mylar sandwich affair. 3"
wide and 2700' long.

A few reels of the stuff are still around.
