Back in the day, we used paper tape for our NC machinery. Lots of it.

& how often did that either break or get snarled up, just coz the
humidity had dropped???? We suggested that Field Engineers should
inspect all the young lady operators for *nasty* nylon clothing & remove
it.... Was never accepted!!!!!
Ahh the good old days..... 16k of memory took 2 to remove it, 64k (the
system max) needed 3 extra wardrobes.....
Have fun reminiscing
