Back in the dark ages when I was in graduate school, we had devices in X-ray crystallography that recorded tons of data on hundreds of feet of ticker tape, all in one continuous strip. In one project lasting for several days the tape was piling on the floor, so the professor picked it up and used a standard trash pail to collect it as it was being generated.
