[GreenKeys] Mylar & paper tape question

[Mike]

Ed,
 Yes, that is am L2000 (aka Mod 1) with a card punch on the left, and a tape punch on the right. We had one like it at Chicago West branch, though no card punch. My first training was on the L8000's and L9000's, (Mod 2's) so of course most of my customers had TC-730's and 750's. In fact, I was going through some boxes a while back and found my FE 1 & 2 cards, which were used to put Mod 1's into maintenance mode. Even had the 4 pin front plane jumper!

Is there that much of a difference between the punch on our L2000 and a teletype punch?
