Replying to a message of Richard Webb to Bob Ackley:

 RW> ... Amazing how much tape is on a 10" reel when it's not.

About 1800 feet if it's a computer (1/2") reel, about 3600 feet if
it's audio (1/4") tape.
The hub in a computer reel is much larger.  I have lots of both on hand
here.  I've also
discovered that in very cold weather the tape seal belts on computer tapes
break; they're
stored in a secure but unheated outbuilding - on computer tape racks, even
- but every so
often I'll find one on the floor with the broken belt.  I suppose I could complain to
Wright-line, but it'd be pointless as nobody uses computer reel tapes any
more (they went
to tape cartridges - 'square tapes,' as opposed to 'round tapes' - a long time ago).
