(Yes, this ignores the weight of the reel itself, but it also overestimates the weight of the tape because the center of the reel is not occupied). A bit of a pain to lift up to head-height, but not a contender compared to 400 pounds! I'm glad someone reminded me of the name... I've got an article about it in a magazine *somewhere*, which is where I remembered it from. Quite where that mag is in the hundreds I've got here I don't know! -- Cheers, Stan Barr stanb .at. dial .dot. pipex .dot. com (Remove any digits from the addresses when mailing me.) The future was never like this!
