Seek Computer Paper Tape
By Colin Hinz

Thanks to Kelly Goodman for the update to the "sources" list.
It's pretty comprehensive, but I'm looking for something so totally
off-the-wall that it ought to _never_ find its way onto the list.

I'm looking for paper tape, not the wide music roll stock but instead
the narrow stock, approximately 1 inch wide, which was used in days of
yore for computers and in typesetting applications.  And yes, there IS
a musical application in mind for this!

I'm hoping some computing old-timers have a few rolls tucked away that
they'd be prepared to "make a deal" on.  I don't need a huge quantity
of the stuff.

Thanks in advance,

Colin Hinz

 [ What's the application, Colin?  A small flute-clock, maybe?  ;)
