2. IBM 3592 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_3592

   Like the 3590 and 3480 before it, this tape format has half-inch tape spooled onto 4-by-5-by-1-inch data cartridges containing a single reel. A take-up reel is embedded inside the tape drive. Because of their speed, reliability, durability and low media cost, the 3592 tape drives are still in high demand. [citation needed]

3. IBM 729 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_729

   The operator's finger is holding the tape in place on the take-up reel as he takes a few turns to secure the tape leader. An IBM 1403 line printer is in the foreground. The IBM 729 Magnetic Tape Unit was IBM's iconic tape mass storage system from the late 1950s through the mid-1960s.

4. 9-track tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-track_tape

   9-track tape drive used with DEC minicomputers Inside a 9-track tape drive. The vacuum columns are the two gray rectangles on the left. A typical 9-track unit consists of a tape transport—essentially all the mechanics that moves tape from reel to reel past the read/write and erase heads—and supporting control and data read/write electronics.

5. Linear Tape-Open - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open

   The end of the tape is attached to a perpendicular leader pin that is used by an LTO drive to reliably grasp the end of the tape and mount it in a take-up reel inside the drive. Older single-reel tape technologies, such as 9-track tape and DLT, used different means to load tape onto a take-up reel. When a cartridge is not in a drive, the pin is ...

6. Magnetic-tape data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-tape_data_storage

   This type is similar to a single-reel cartridge in that there is no take-up reel inside the tape drive. [citation needed] The IBM 7340 Hypertape drive, introduced in 1961, used a dual reel cassette with a 1-inch-wide (2.5 cm) tape capable of holding 2 million six-bit characters per cassette. [citation needed]

7. DECtape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DECtape

   The TX-2 Tape System is the direct ancestor of LINCtape, including the use of two redundant sets of five tracks and a direct drive tape transport, but it uses a physically incompatible tape format (½-inch tape on 10-inch reels, where LINC tape and DECtape used ¾-inch tape on 4-inch reels).

9. Reel-to-reel audio tape recording - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reel-to-reel_audio_tape...

   Reel-to-reel preceded the development of the compact cassette with tape 0.15 inches (3.8 mm) wide moving at 1 + 7 ⁄ 8 inches per second (4.8 cm/s). By writing the same audio signal across more tape, reel-to-reel systems give much greater fidelity at the cost of much larger tapes.
