This Ferranti paper tape reader is a re-badged Trend UDR 700 paper tape reader. The UDR 700 is a high-speed paper tape reader that uses photo-electrical sensing and an electro-magnetic braking system. The photo-electric sensing virtually eliminates failures arising from mechanical wear and ensures that tape wear is kept at a minimum. It offers operating speeds of 700 characters per second. It can be used as a free-standing unit or rack mounted equipment and is easily interfaced with a wide range of digital systems and most small processors. There is an integral power unit. This exhibit was purchased from the MOD with the generous support of followers and friends on Twitter and Facebook.
