Default Re: Chrome Reel to Reel Tape?

I'm pretty sure that there were no chrome reel to reel tapes for audio use although it is possible that they may have been made for slow speed instrumentation purposes (although, again, I've never used them). The main development towards the end of the reel to reel era was the introduction of professional tapes that worked at a higher operating level - Ampex/Quantegy 499 and Scotch/3M 996 being two examples.
