Back in 69-70, I was an operator in a shop where they
used Mohawk data entry
systems for (mainly) salary-related work. The model they used, only had 1
reel. The "used" part of the tape was just falling down into a drawer. The
systems worked like shit (sorry to say so), as we had read errors on just
about every tape we attempted to read.
Sounds right! I have to wonder how many times tape was damaged by just
falling into the slot improperly.
