[GreenKeys] More recent use of punch hole tape

[steve bennett]

This may be a little off topic but in the 1980s when I worked in the machine shopwe had some CNC machines and we loaded the jobs into the machine using paper tapewith holes punched in.The CNC machines were capable of reading programming via RS232 but they could never get that to workbecause there was so much electrical interference in the shop so they just used the paper tape instead.
My uncle still works there. I should ask him if they are still doing that.
