Well to answer that question, I know that the Bell System, used M15 RO's 
for LIT or Line Insulation Test results in the old Step by Step Central 
Offices, these were automated routine testing of cable facilities done 
during the evening hours. The information was send to the M15 via a M14  
transmitter/distributor, that was wired directly into the test selector, 
ie, not paper tape.  They were supposed to proactively indicate 
developing cable troubles, wet, shorted, crossed, etc., but from my 
recollection, nobody ever looked at the print-out!!

Just Bob!
