Some of the fast paper tape readers would stream the tape about 15 feet
through the air before it was collected in a large bin. The fun part was
rewinding into a roll.
BTW I forgot. Plain paper tape was easily torn but the tapes used in the
fast readers had a layer of Mylar so they could not be torn, the paper
backing could separate though.
