In 1972 I was the second shift manager of the IBM Customer Data Center in 
Chicago.  We had a paper tape reader/punch attached to a System/7.  We 
could attach the System/7 to System/360 but generally it was stand alone. 
At the time, an energy company was testing an application that would 
graphically display overburden and coal seam information on a 2250 display 
station attached to a 370-155, if I recall correctly.  At the time, I 
thought it was really impressive. 
I believe we could attach the paper tape to a 360 or 370 with an RPQ 
(special feature).
