Kearny and Trecker used PDP8s in CNC controls for

one omnibus backplane, with the second backplane
position occupied by the K&T interface. Apparently,
they built the whole thing into the PDP8/E chassis.
I believe they used the 8/A in later generation tools.
I'd want the whole thing.The right paper tape
will give me a aircraft carrier or some other big toy to create at
home.

PS: It would be the only paper tape miles long :)
