Recently we were talking about a business automation
device that used paper tape for storage; typically someone would enter data like an
address on paper tape, then it would read the paper tape back through to print the address
on an envelope for billing. It was a specific device/name and it was very 60s/"Mad
Men" in appearance. I can't remember the name. Someone found one in an attic in
MN or something.
The IBM 870 can do this (and a lot more), but I do not think this is
what we were talking about.
