Carriage-Control Tape
I
The carriage-control tape (see Figure 23) has 12
columnar positions indicated by vertical lines. These
22
positions are called carriage-control channels.
Channels 1 through 8 are used when skipping within
the form, and channel 12 is used when overflowing
from form to form. Channels 9, 10, and 11 are
not used.
Holes can be punched in each channel throughout the
length of the tape. A maximum of 132 lines can be
used to control a form, although for convenience the
control tape is slightly longer. Round pre-punched
holes in the center of the tape are engaged by the
