Tested for Performance using procedures that far exceed the normal criterion for attention to detail. Every element in the new oxide formulation is tested before and after blending . . . every reel of tape produced is subjected to thorough tests which insure the quality of MAC Panel Computer Tape. Packaged for Performance in clean, dust-proof containers hermetically sealed inside a plastic envelope. This entire unit is shipped to-you in a specially designed, shock absorbing package that features a “handy-handle” for carrying convenience. Write for Free Booklet: “MAC Panel Computer Tape . . . Assured Performance.”
