So, I'm replying to the reply, as I never got the original query. Anyway Gary, I'm in Beaverton OR, USA and so quite possibly local, and I can read your paper tape easily enough. Email or a thumb drive or whatever so you can print out the result. I don't think my Teletype is in good enough shape at the moment to make you a period correct print-out, though.
