Paper tape reader puncher
- under construction
The TX 400/LS was a combined punched paper tape reader and puncher,
developed by Coscom GmbH in Steinhöring (later: Berlin, Germany) around
1981. The device was built around Siemens T-1000 parts and was aimed at the
CAM 1 and military markets.
It is suitable for 5-level and 8-level paper tape and supports
ASCII, ISO and ITA2 standards. From 1987 onwards, the product was also
distributed by CDI Informationssysteme GmbH in Filderstadt as a rebatched
product.
