I just got a Calcomp 563 incremental plotter.
Is that powder blue, kind of an A-Frame design? I had to pass on one
a few years ago because I could _not_ fit it into a full-sized cargo
van - it was 2" too tall at the frame.
The Calcomp Plotter I saw had a permanently affixed
sprocketed mylar loop
that you taped drafting paper down to. Perhaps you could find/make that?
Maybe we are not talking about the same device. You have pictures?
That idea might work but making the loop will be some work. Haven't
had any luck on finding paper yet.
Do now. http://www.pdp8.net/563/563.shtml

Not a 536...
The one I was trying to move was much larger.

You said 36" roll, right? California Surveying and Drafting Supply... many
different types, here's some relatively "plain" paper:
