Anyone know what this is? Looks like a weird data entry system to key
in data and store it on tape for processing who knows how. Although
the description could just be off...

It was used by a data service to do key to tape "keypunching" of data for
processing on a 4331.
It replaced a Mohawk Data Systems Key to tape system which is where the little tables came
from.
Altho it is not mine, I have a key to the building and access to it and the docs what do
you want to know ?
There are 2 complete systems, and a bunch of spare parts/boards.

Is this the same "Tartan Terminal" that was marketed by Recognition
Equipment--the OCR gear maker?

There isn't anything I specifically want to know, I was just curious
what it was and you answered that nicely, thank you.

I believe I ran across one such system in recent years, belonging to the PA
Department of Labor and Industry. They had a bunch of peecees running NT
that all worked toward some box on the other side of the room that dumped
things on to a tape for who knows what. I'm not sure if they still do that
or not...
