Somewhere I have a tape fragment, not from a missile
but from some game
code.
I think this tape was not fan folded but rolled for
storage.
Right-o... teletypes with the reader/punch used rolls of paper tape.
I have a copy of DEC Monopoly on papertape that I punched myself, as
well as a copy of Intel's INTERP-80 (8080a simulator) and a Star Trek
game called BIGMES (from an HP 2000).
At IU, we had a CDC6600 with an online highspeed punch, and I have
a couple of tapes I punched on that, as well as what was left on the
roll.
I'm not sure if the fanfold method came about for ease of
mailing or not; eventually, there were readers available that
had "bins" instead of reels, and you could load either fanfold
or roll tape in the bins.
