[QuadList] QuadQuiz--Why did RCA choose 6-mil head width for Super High Band experiments

[Ted Langdell]

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.
