content: This set of sheets with a black cover is entitled: INSTRUCTION BOOK (/) for (/) MODEL CXCO-1 (/) TAPE OPERATED (/) EQUIPMENT (/) Type 10 ARO (/) Type 10 ARP (/) Type 10 ARQ. It was published by the Navy Department Bureau of Ships by Commercial Controls Corporation of Rochester, New York, in 1947. It describes a paper tape reader, a regenerative typewriter, and a paper tape punch - the unit automatically read and translated coded characters in a tape into a typewritten code. At the same time, a "regenerated tape" was produced which might or might not have the same coded characters perforated as the tape being read, depending on the electrical setup of the typewriter. Tape from a CXCO tape reader was used with an early magnetic drum (for the magnetic drum, see 1989.0622.01). However, it was magnetic tape, not paper tape.
