I've got an optical reader on my junk shelf that reads 5, 6 and 8
level tape at the turn of a knob (the knob rotates the tape guide
to bring the appropriate width guide slot into position).  I have
no documentation for it.  It has a stepper motor to turn the
sprocket, photocells, and a relatively small interface board.
I have no idea what it was used for -- I found it in a junk pile.
