RE: anyone recognize this?
I saw the pictures in the auction. From the bottom you can see there are two toothed wheels that I am guessing would feed the media through the device which would be wrong for paper tape since the position of the data holes relative to the sprocket holes is important and there would only be one just off center. The fact that it is in a carrying case would suggest it may be a tool of some kind, I suppose one other possibility would be for punching program tapes for clock systems. Some of the clock systems used a paper tape, driven by the clock mechanism, to trigger events such ad the ringing of bells to signal the end of classes in a school.
