 Dunno if it's the era you are referring to, but I spent the summer of
 1985 in Britain and remember the bog paper as being quite stout.  I
 can imagine it surviving the rollers and printhead of an ASR-33 (not
 sure if it would have buckled enough to snag a dot matrix head or
 not).

 Izal Medicated :-) Does that stuff still exist? Designed to be as 
 non-absorbent as possible. The difference between using that stuff and a 
 piece of wood was not noticeable. It would probably work quite well as a 
 replacement for roof slates.
