Ticker Tape is different. No holes. Stock prices printed on it. You know those 
stock price "crawlers" on TV, at your broker's, and in Times Square? Those are 
a simulation of ticker tape. Picture that stock crawler printed on paper tape 
-- that's ticker tape. The printing device was called a Ticker because of the 
noise it made. You seem them in old photos.
