1) A piece of tamper-proof tape, labeled "breaking this seal voids
warranty". If you do major modifications to something, such as a TRS80
model 1, always put a fresh tamper-evident seal on it afterwards, to
re-enable the warranty.
2) Also called a "tape hanger", a piece of plastic that wraps around the
circumference of a reel of tape to keep it from unrolling all over the
floor, and has a hook for hanging the tape in a rack.
Now known to have a limited lifespan.
3) "tape, seal" 3M Temflex type 21557, used to attach a
VHF transmitter to pinnipeds, such as northern elephant seals, for
tracking
