Rolls? After a coupla years handling rolls of that oily stuff that the ASR-33's
used to feed/eat, I was glad to get hold of the fan-folded stuff for the
rack-mounted readers. My best system used a Plessey R/P which could read 300
cps. Used a rubber roller, no sprockets, detecting holes optically. I've got a
bunch of plastic trays with fan-folded tapes stashed away somewhere in storage.
Now if only I'd saved all those holes for a lower Broadway parade!
