It has been put in category "Withdrawn", how's that for passive agressive?
If 1970 feels too fresh, there's this:

If you believe you can bandsaw the roll to a tape
width of the
nominal 1.000" and that any deviation in that width is less than the
code holes 0.002" transverse allowance as defined in the ANSI
X3.18-1967 Standard then you have either a really nice bandsaw and a
well-made cutting jig or very very steady hand.
I was not making a passive-aggressive suggestion.
