A PAPER TAPE TO MAGNETIC TAPE CONVERTER
The Paper-Tape-to-Magnetic-Tape Converter consists of two racks of electronic equipment whose function is to transcribe seven-channel digital code on punched paper tape to seven-digital code on magnetic tape in a form compatible with the input requirements of the IBM 704 and 709 computers. Recording is accomplished by electronically controlling the "read" and "stop" modes of the paper tape reader while the magnetic tape continuously advances. The converter also checks for certain types of error in the structure of the coded information on the paper tape and indicates their presence. The encoded magnetic tape is used as the information input to a properly programmed IBM computer. (auth)
