forwarding these tapes in short intervals as they are thin, tend to
stretch and may become entangled in the machine.
Do not use the Fe-Cr tapes (TYPE III) in this system:
if you use this tape, it is impossible to obtain the required flat
frequency response.
If the tape loosens, take up the slack
Tape slack may cause the tape to break.
