It's amazing how little in that book concerns magnetic recording. 3M was far and away the leader in 
tape manufacturing for a long time, yet there are very few mentions of it. I know that magnetic tape 
was just a small part of 3M even in its heyday, but sheesh, this was a multi-billion dollar business 
at one time.

I'm sure I have a copy of one of those boxes deep in my archive, but
would love to see it online. I did some googling and found a
fascinating history of 3M, including a pdf of in-depth highlights of
their history. Quite interesting for a few minutes exploration:

Click on the 3M story BOOK link to download the 8MB, 248 page pdf.
Unfortunately the photo in question does not seem to appear anywhere on
the site... Anyone have a link to it online?
