Newall has a new magnetic tape 10 micron system called
Magnasyn (page 434, Aug 2000 Modern Machine Shop).
I don't have their website or prices. Typically, scales people
and I have different ideas of what "inexpensive" means!

As their tape is long (up to 32 Meters) and flexible, it allows
mounting on a curved surface (for rotary encoding). Of course
it has a cover protecting it from scarf.

Who wants to get a quote from them?
