Siemens T100 Terminal with Paper Tape - Available

[Mike Katz]

I thought I had recalled that Baudot was 5 bits but the paper tape is 6 
bits across and I don't know of any 6 bit character codes except for 
DECs upper case only character set and even their paper tape had 8 bits 
so I guessed Baudot.
