2. Tape measure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_measure

   Diagram showing fractions of an inch on a standard sixteenth measuring tape. A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible ruler used to measure length or distance. It consists of a ribbon of cloth, plastic, fibre glass, or metal strip with linear measurement markings. It is a common measuring tool.

3. Magnetic tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_tape

   Magnetic tape. 7-inch reel of ¼-inch-wide audio recording tape, typical of consumer use in the 1950s–70s. Magnetic tape is a medium for magnetic storage made of a thin, magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip of plastic film. It was developed in Germany in 1928, based on the earlier magnetic wire recording from Denmark.

5. Magnetic storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_storage

   Magnetic storage. Magnetic storage or magnetic recording is the storage of data on a magnetized medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetisation in a magnetizable material to store data and is a form of non-volatile memory. The information is accessed using one or more read/write heads.

6. DECtape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DECtape

   DECtape, originally called Microtape, is a magnetic tape data storage medium used with many Digital Equipment Corporation computers, including the PDP-6, PDP-8, LINC-8, PDP-9, PDP-10, PDP-11, PDP-12, and the PDP-15. On DEC's 32-bit systems, VAX/VMS support for it was implemented but did not become an official part of the product lineup.

7. Compact Cassette tape types and formulations - Wikipedia

   Remanence of audio tapes, referred to quarter-inch tape width, varies from around 1100 G for basic ferric tapes to 3500 G for Type IV tapes; [5] advertised remanence of the 1986 JVC Type IV cassette reached 4800 G. [6] Coercivity is a measure of the external magnetic flux required to magnetize the tape, and an indicator of the necessary bias level.
