    These were known as long-play tapes. [1] Manufacturers also referred to 3 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches per second (9.525 cm/s) tape speed as long-play. A further reduction of backing to 0.5 or 0.75 mils (13 or 19 μm) and total thickness to 26 micrometres (1.0 mil) resulted in double-play tapes of 2,400 feet (730 m) on a seven-inch reel. [1]
