Spanish term or phrase: directamente cintas
Dear colleagues:

I have absolutely no idea what "directamente cintas" means in this case, if anything. Perhaps, it is a typo, or if it has anything to do with "tapes" (which I doubt). It may well be too that words are missing, but I can't make head or tail of this one, as other sections of this report are very poorly drafted.

Here we go with the context:

 Cada uno de los asociados y las asociadas de la cooperativa llevaron sus propias herramientas **directamente cintas** en el campo y solo un día nos prestó un GPS de la cooperativa COOPxxxx para obtener punto referencia de la tierra.

Thanks and regards.
