FLAP
     
        A {symbolic mathematics} package for {IBM 360}.

        US Naval Weapons Lab].

flap
     
        1.  To unload a {DECtape} (so it goes flap,
        flap, flap).  Old-time {hackers} at {MIT} tell of the days
        when the disk was device 0 and {microtapes} were 1, 2,
        etc. and attempting to flap device 0 would instead start a
        motor banging inside a cabinet near the disk.
     
        The term is used, by extension, for unloading any magnetic
        tape.  See also {macrotape}.  Modern {cartridge tapes} no
        longer actually flap, but the usage has remained.
     
        The term could well be re-applied to {DEC}'s {TK50} cartridge
        tape drive, a spectacularly misengineered contraption which
        makes a loud flapping sound, almost like an old reel-type
        lawnmower, in one of its many tape-eating failure modes.
     
        2.  See {flapping router}.
