[GreenKeys] Paper tape

Jack:

You are thinking of Western Numerical Control.  They have paper tape at:
http://www.westnc.com/paptape.html

Order# 0500: 11/16" wide, 1000' roll, 8" Dia. (2" core), .004" thick,
oiled, unprinted, buff color, $55.00 for ten rolls.

Order# 0100A: 1" wide, 1000' roll, 8" Dia. (2" core), .004" thick, oiled,
unprinted, buff color, $38.00 for seven rolls.

They also have paper rolls at:
http://www.westnc.com/teletype.html

Order# TT101: Paper roll, ground wood buff color, 1 ply, friction feed,
8.44" wide by 4.5" dia. (core: 1.25" OD, 1" ID), $8.00 ea.

They have other stuff as well, like fan-fold 1" tape, mylar tape, M43
ribbon cartridges, white rolls of paper, 2-ply rolls of paper...

Unfortunately they have no 7/8" paper tape for KL machines, nor 5/16" or
3/8" stuff for tape printers.

I also wish they had 8.5" sprocket-feed paper to fit my M33.  Too bad the
sprockets cannot move to accept the generic 9.5" stuff.  I got one roll of
it on ebay once.  It is available in big fan-fold boxes as a special order
from office places, but the rolls are nicer.  Anyone have any extra?
