Dear list denizens,
I've got a mental itch that needs to be scratched. Before me sits a
yellow 3-hole reel of IBM 556 bpi 1/2" tape. Fortunately, the leader is
intact and carries the number H241032488. Does this perchance give any
clue as to when the tape was manufactured? I know that IBM still
carried 556-tested tape in their catalog as late as 1966.
Any clues?
Thanks,
--Chuck
