Now that's an interesting question. Being paper tape, it's from the days
in which you could see a bit with the naked eye. Another industrial
artifact that I have somewhere is a paper tape reader, but it would take
time away from skiing to get it working. Does anybody know if the
Computer History Museum or equivalent has a DEC paper tape reader that
works? I could probably lay it out on a scanner but that would be
tedious. Might actually be best, it's over 45 years old and probably
fragile.
