Presumably an "instrumentation tape" rather than a digital data tape
drive. Neat, though. I wonder if it could handle digital tape.
The 1 inch feature is nice for people who have early CDC 6000 series
one-inch 14 track tapes... (if there are any such people!)

Would be
interesting if it it could be used to read out problematic 7-track tapes.
Perhaps it can be used transparently. Would allow to do the data recovery in software on a
modern
computer...
