Need Help in Identifying Something

Closer pic, please? Much closer.

Here are two more pictures of a single disc out of the packaging.

The discs appear to have a plastic center with what looks like a single strand of wire wound around until they are this size diameter.

Can you check whether the disc is electrically resonating around 8 to 10 MHz?

Is it wire or tape? they look like some of the pinstriping spools I have seen.

Is there any space between the layers, I have seen gaskets made of spooled ridged or flat metal mixed with a composite.

Or, tape for laying out PWB's prior to CAD?

Lithographers Tape, 3M 616 in Stock - ULINE

Or:
$1.97
Geotape Graphic Charting Tape 1/16 in. 324 in. roll red

I think you might have it.

I found a small colored tape strip on the edge of one. Once removed, the wire can be unwound. It is like foil tape that is copper coated on one side and slightly adhesive on the other, and is about 1/64" wide.

Then it sounds like it might be PWB prototyping tape, with the tape being the conductor, instead of being used to produce the photomask image.

Probably used for making one-off boards for hobby or prototyping.

I'd either put it in the round file or note to PO that you did not order it.

Wire or flat metal or metalized-plastic adhesive tape? Still hard to tell....... If narrow copper tape, it could be that which is used for repairing missing or damaged circuit-board traces, simple quick prototyping and general lab use. If alum. or some other metal foil, for decorative hobby use, esp. if colored. Same for metalized plastic....... Doesn't look like it, but narrow, black, opaque self-adhesive crepe-paper tapes were widely popular at one time for laying-out printed-circuit artwork, and still is to a limited degree by electronics hobbyists........ Transparent, glossy plastic films & tapes often have a metallic appearance on the roll even when not metalized. Still hard to say from the pix........ Sorry about crappy reply format, but CR4's editor forces me to reply using RAW HTML when replying from my Android phone (PRIMAL SCREAM). Possibly the plan is to be theLAST website on the planet to recognize the inevitable preponderance of mobile users in the next, say, three months. Yes, I'm annoyed.

Yep.

I think the answer is somewhere between here and Lyn's reply.

Metal thin adhesive tape was used for connecting glass windows to burgular alarms

Having applied, repaired, and found ground loops on more windows than I care to recall I would have to say this isn't the foil we used. Nice site though, brought back memories of the old days when the company I worked for purchased smaller alarm companies in order to grow. I had the pleasure task of troubleshooting hundreds of orphan alarm systems installed by people who were in business for a year of so. I learned more about troubleshooting and developing a logical approach to systems from that than any school could have taught.

Look like voice coils to me you stack them in different combinations to tune the response ..

Can you give us a physical description?

Thickness; flexibility; diameters; Material of construction?

Custom forms would have a company and shipping address. Google the company name find out what they do.

I can't read Chinese.

Okay, Mr. Smarty..uh..Paws, which event?

Frisbee toss?

Take them to the Post Office and let them deal with it.

I am just guessing, but, I think they are coils which are incorporated into the receiver of a telephone handset to make the handset more compatible with hearing aids.

That is my guess too.....well put!

Red and blue tape from Bishop Graphics. Two transparent colors were used to allow a two sided board to be laid out on one side of a sheet of plastic. Photographic filters would allow the red tape to create one set of master artwork and the blue tape to create the other.

It is the varying colors that throws me. I see green, blue, purple/pink white gold and silver.

Are they all the same width? Will the tape stretch or does it wrinkle if you tried to apply it in a curve?

I have seen similar stuff used under a clear coat as pin-striping.

Use google to translate the words or take it to someone who does read Chinese?

(sorry, No jokes allowed.)

Take everything to the nearest Chinese restaurant and have them translate....

Ya know, that's a pretty good idea. I like it.

The several Chinese dialects are mutually intelligible, so you might be able to get something out of the enclosed written information. Worth a shot.

What You Have is a Chinese copy of a Flexitallic gasket used in processing.

Check out there web site. I'm sure they would be interested in seeing where they came from.

Problem solved...I did say she was elderly.

She ordered a "fingernail decoration kit" for one of the family girls for Christmas. This was part of that kit that was on back order.

They are spools of different colored foil tape.

Whatever happened to the days of nail polish ?

I think you may have just ruined a perfectly good discussion by introducing irrefutable logic/facts

Sorry all....maybe I have.

However, I am always impressed at the cornucopia of intelligent answers I get on here!

Thanks to all for the effort !

Foiled again!
