High-Speed Paper Tape Punch
Description

In 1958, Oki Electric Industry announced this high-speed paper tape punch to replace paper tape punches which came as accessories to typewriters. This punch was not simply a speeded-up version of a conventional single-character punch. It employed the multi-punch system for simultaneously punching a number of characters. This was achieved by lining up many conventional punch blocks in the tape flow direction.
