| | Punched tape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Punched tape is an old-fashioned form of data storage, consisting of a long strip of paper in which holes are punched to store data. | | | The earliest forms of punched tape come from weaving looms and embroidery, where cards with simple instructions about a machine's intended movements were first fed individually as instructions, then controlled by instruction cards, and later were fed as a string of connected cards. | | | Punched tape was a standard storage medium for CNC machine tools. |

| | The industrial age: 1650 to 1900 |
| | Punched tape was in use well into the 1970s for storage of computer programs and data and for transmission by teletype, but it was rapidly supplanted by magnetic tape thereafter. | | | The idea of the punched card as a data input device was adopted by Charles Babbage for his designs of mechanical computers. | | | In the 1960s, punched tape was popular as storage for small minicomputers, such as the DEC PDP-8, HP 2116 and Varian Data Machines 620i. |

| | From the early days of computing up till well into the 70's, paper tape was heavily used in the computer industry as a cheap and reliable means of data storage. | | | Besides, it was used in telecommunications (telex), and in the printing industry as the input medium for hot-metal typesetting machines. | | | In computer applications, tapes were usually 1 inch wide with 8 information hole positions and one sprocket feed hole in each row, see the top illustration [1]. |
