There's also an ECMA standard for punched tape, that I believe has the same specifications as the ANSI standard, and is available for free in case the ANSI document isn't. https://ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-10/ It has been put in category "Withdrawn", how's that for passive agressive?
