You can bake tape without a dehydrator!

What was RCA's rationale for choosing to use 6-mil heads for their
experiments with Super High Band on a TR-70C?


Some SMPTE members may know the answer.


Bonus question:  Why didn't Super High Band (or Ampex's Super High Band
Pilot) get any marketplace traction.


Good luck and hope your part of the country is staying relatively cool.
 


We're at 108, our expected high for today... heading for 109 tomorrow
and 111 Tuesday and Wednesday in the central Sacramento Valley of
California.


Is that hot enough to melt Quad Tape on the Sidewalk?  The forecast says
it'll be hotter than the Fourth of July.
