The late 1950s into the early 1980s was the heyday of starch jelly candy production across a broad spectrum of U. S. [United States] candy plants. During this time frame, three significant technology introductions changed the nature of making starch jelly candies : high-speed starch moguls, high-amylose cornstarch and high volume continuous cookers. 2, record 1, English, - starch%20jelly%20candy

The melon's roots can be traced back to varieties brought over by French settlers in the seventeenth century. In its heyday, half a century ago, the Montreal melon was the Queen of Melons. Its delicious, green flesh was prized in the fancy dining rooms of New York and Boston, where customers would pay a big price for the pleasure of eating just a single juicy slice. A 1938 handbook Vegetables of New York claimed that "handled skillfully and intelligently, the melon produces the largest fruits of its type in American cultivation. "A single melon could easily reach 15 pounds! And its unique spicy flavour was the reason it was also known as "The Montreal Nutmeg Melon. " 2, record 3, English, - Montreal%20melon

Unfortunately, it is all too easy to lose varieties which contain unique genes; for instance the "Montreal melon", once renowned for its special taste and sold in New York for exorbitant prices, has disappeared without a trace. 1, record 3, English, - Montreal%20melon

Occasionally used to mean a DECtape, as opposed to a MACROTAPE. A DECtape is a small reel about four inches in diameter of magnetic tape about an inch wide. Unlike those for today's macrotapes, microtape drivers allowed random access to the data. In their heyday they were used in pretty much same way one would now use a floppy disk : as a small, portable way to save and transport files and programs. Apparently the term microtape was actually the official term used within DEC for these tapes until someone coined the word "DECtape, "which of course sounded sexier to the marketroids... 1, record 5, English, - microtape
