Paper tape repair/correction jigs. The picture shows small and large versions used for splicing and repairing. The punch could be used to remove extraneous chads or create new holes if required. (e.g. if the parity hole had been missed by the prep machine). Superfluous holes could be covered by splicing mylar but most ops learnt it was quicker to find a loose chad, moisten it with saliva and ‘glue’ it back in the unwanted hole.
