Week 179, These are not the tapes you are looking for

A long time ago in a data centre far, far away...

There was a dark recess

Where after a time light shone in

Unnatural light

Mercury vapour stimulated by electric current 

Producing ultraviolet radiation

Creating an unpleasant glow from a tubular phosphor surface

Urgh

However, that doesn't answer the question

What were the tapes?*†

* Some may say they are for a Panasonic real to real tape recorder

† Some say this cupboard was used for backup tapes
