IIRC the computer museum of the University Stuttgart
(Germany) has interfaced a similar machine (Autotypist
735) to a pdp8/L.
I took apart an Autotypist (someone had already chucked the
Typewriter that bayonets on top) back in 1980.
The damn thing was a pneumatic player-piano mechanism,
punched hole piano rolls and all.
About equal in geek factor to an analog computer.
