The History of Marsh Tapers Part 1
Over the last fifty years the Marsh Company evolved to meet the challenges of todays packaging and shipping departments. The "old" Marsh Company offered three different electronic tape machines during the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's and one manual.
Most of the parts have been discontinued. The moistening brush and cutter blade assembly are still available for these models.
Features:
- Extra large 48 oz. capacity water reservoir
- Stainless steel blades and accurate scissor-action cutting
- Fast, easy "drop-in" tape loading system
- Efficient water-regulator pressure pad
- Integral Tape Coder available for all three Marsh Electric Tape Machines
The 4BT offered preset lengths arranged in a circle. The Touch-Taper offered a single brush moistening system with an adjustable tank heater. Tape rolls were easy to change out with the top drop in design.
