It's kind of weird.  Some tapes (same format, make, manufacturer, etc) 
seems to hold more before the next tape is loaded.  Could be quite 
significant.  And I suspect that a manufacturer does a reasonable job of 
having the same length of tape on every cartridge - give or take only a 
small manufacturing variance.  I wonder if the figures quoted on the 
report are data before compression and/or compaction by the device.  And 
some data compresses more.
