That may be true for some of them. But typesetting usage has 6 channels on tape sized to carry just 6. For example, the Linotype
Yes, but if I'm remembering correctly, the width is the same. Only the typesetter tapes have the sprocket holes in the center of the tape. But otherwise the tape is the same 22.2 mm. Or what width does the typesetting tapes have? For example, on the Friden highspeed readers, you can switch between normal and TTS, i.e. move the read block by a small amount to adapt to the different holes position. The tape guides stay the same. Christian
