One thing to remember, at least on the systems i used, was that the paper tape guide holes for the sprocket, were in the middle of the tape, not along the top like film usually is. That said, Tony has indicated that his punches, took unholed paper tape and punched the guide holes. Mine didn’t do that and was curious about if mine were unusual in that way.
