Teletype BRPE 8-level punch blocks

[Al Kossow]

They were 5 6 7 and 8 level models. I need to dig around for an 8-level manual for bitsavers
since it appears the parts data in the book that I have only covers 5-7 level.

BRPEs were used as the paper tape punch in the PDP-1
Later DEC machines used Litton punch mechanisms
