Magnetic Tape Policy (1Mar94)
(from NSO, NOAO Newsletter No. 37, 1 March 1994)

NSO now has a uniform policy which can be summarized by quoting from
the current version (December 1993) of the observing proposal form:
"Please bring appropriate magnetic tapes, otherwise NSO will provide
tapes at cost." This policy matches that of the nighttime facilities on
Kitt Peak; it applies both to visiting observers and to requests for
archived data.

Many of you will not see a change, as most parts of NSO have
implemented this policy informally for some time.  Please be sure to
check ahead that the type of tape you prefer (Exabyte or DAT, usually)
is supported by the instrument or archive in question.
