   paper tape
  
      Punched paper tape.   An early
      {input/output} and storage medium borrowed from {telegraph}
      and {teletype} systems.
  
      Data entered at the keyboard of the teletype could be directed
      to a perforator or punch which punched a pattern of holes
      across the width of a paper tape to represent the characters
      typed.   The paper tape could be read by a tape reader feeding
      the computer.   Computer output could be similarly punched onto
      tape and printed off-line.
  
      As well as storage of the program and data, use of paper tape
      enabled {batch processing}.
  
      The first units had five data hole positions plus a sprocket
      hole (for the driving wheel) across the width of the tape.
      These used commercial telegraph code ({ITA2} also known as
      {Murray}), {Baudot code}, or proprietary codes such as
      {Elliott} which were more programmer-friendly.   Later systems
      had eight data holes and used {ASCII} coding.
