.Yes, i do not remember, and it is not 'seems' - this is the fact stated in my previous post.
As for the streamers (storage devices on magnetic band of sequential access) - those seem to be of potential use of such units of capacity - Megabits.
As for the '60s - i do remember Gagarin's flight to outer space

i.e. megabaud (Mbd).
