...
   Now guess how
a classic photoreader (optical paper tape reader) works... 

 This was done YEARS ago, in the very earliest microcomputer days. 
_Way_ before that!. There were Elliot optical tape readers that used this 
principle in the 1950s.

Come to think of it, didn;t the Colossus tape reader work this way?
