In the UK we called it ticket tape and it was terrible. The devices barely worked and they cause a bunch of friction so you end up calculating a value of 'g' that's off by like 30%.

I think officially, we called it ticker tape, as in stock ticker - it was originally used to record stock prices transmit by telegraph.
