The IRS facility photo used the IBM style; not flexible, but rather a

I'd have to take a photo of one, I think, though if you have a very
ancient Wright-Line catalog, it's probably in there.
But basically, just behind the "hook", there's a black plastic latch.
When closed, it tensions the white band.

what was convenient with those is that the latch-and-hook are attached
to the vinyl band by fitting with a couple of holes punched in the band.
In a pinch, you could make hangers for smaller (than 10.5") reels by
cutting and punching new holes.

See how each reel of tape hangs from a slot in a
horizontal bar? Those
white-and-black strips wrapped around the tapes are what I'm referring
to as being deteriorated.
How does that come off the reel?
Does the reel slide out?? Does it unlatch?? Do you have a picture of one
without the tape reel in it?
