 Impressive claims were made about station wagon full of tapes hurtling
 down the highway. 
I still have the Samsonite briefcase I used to transport 7-track tapes

wagons.  6 tapes to a trip.
More than once it was "hand the tapes to someone meeting you at the gate
and catch the next return flight".
