1000 word per minute. Amazingly fast.
Well roughly 670 baud. But still. ;-)

Not too shabby for 1960 technology.
A little more fiddling with numbers and....
Given 0.10 inch per row of punched holes,
that's roughly 111 rows/second or about
1 ft/sec or 60 ft/minute tape speeds.

Yahoo. Be that was a real mess at the far
side of the tape reader if a reel jammed.
