Hi Jim,
after another test using a different PC and paper tape,
the paper tape reader is en route to you. I declared it as
"paper tape reader for hobby use, value USD10" and that it
will "return within 4 weeks". Hopefully this will prevent
you from having to get into toruble with the custom office...
Best regards,
Erik.

know that Ferranti tested their intertial navigations systems for
aircraft also by torturing them in a car driving around Edinburgh
