I should have put a ruler in, for scale. The 3M is about 2/3 of the thickness
of the 10M. The center conductor is about 2mm - pretty heavy!

The XGP printed on roll paper. It was a laser type
process
Plain paper? Well, my memory of it being thermal paper could easily be wrong;
it's been a _long_ time, and I didn't use it much.

But I *did* use it *a lot* when I was there.
Missed using it until one of my co-workers at IBM started ?playing? with an IBM 4250
electro-erosion printer (I believe it was 600dpi H and 600dpi V). It used aluminized
mylar (rolls again) ? hence the electro erosion. He wrote a bunch of SW for it and
ran it off of his PC-AT (at the time) and could produce ?camera ready? results. You
could also do limited print runs (100-500 copies) directly from resultant mylar. Very
cool device?not really fast though.

Interesting.
According to the following page, it was not RG-8 cable because of the
variances there in. As such it was purpose built.
