The paper tape reader for the SCM Typetronic 2816 could read a form of edge-punched card but presumably these weren't compatible with anything else apart from the ones it produced with its own 'Vertipunch' unit. See page 22 of the operator handbook: https://archive.org/details/scmtypetronic2816operatorhandbook/page/n21/mode/2up I do have this tape/EPC reader (no cards unfortunately) and can take some pics if anyone's interested.
