Tape
Punch
punched in more than
one channel on
the
same
line.
After
the tape
is
punched,
it
is cut and
looped
into a
belt.
The
bottom end is glued to
the
top
section, mark
d
"glue,"
so
the
bottom
line
will
coincide with
the
6rst
line. Before the tape
is
glued,
the
glaze on
the tape
should be removed
by an
ink
eraser;
if
this
is
not
done, the tape
ends can
come apart.
The center
feed
holes
should
coincide
when
the
two
ends
of
the tape
are
glued together.
The
last
hole
punched in
the tape
should
be
at least
four
lines
from
the
cut
edge, because
approximately
th
e
last half
inch
of
the tape
overlaps
th
e
glue
secti
on
when
the
two ends
are
spliced. If
it
is
necessary
to
punch
a hole
lower than four
lines
up
from
the bottom
of
the
form
,
the
tape
should
be
placed
with
the
top
line
(immediately
under
the
glu
portion
)
four
lines
lower than
the
top
edge of the
form
,
before
marking
the
channels.
To
compensate for
the
loss,
th
tape
should
then
be
cut
four
lines lower
th
an
the
bottom
of
the edge
of
the
form.

SPACI
G F
OR
8
LINES-PER-INCH
The
control
tape
for
8
lines-per-inch
spacing
is
punched
as
it
would
be
for normal 6 lines-per-inch
spacing.
Each
line
on
the
tap
always equals one
line
on
the
form
, regardless
of
whether
the
latter
is 6
or 8
lin
s-
per-inch.
In
measuring
a
control
tape
for
a
docum ent
printed
8 lines-to-the-inch on
the
form
,
every
1/
8
inch
on
the
form
represents one
line
on
the
tape.
