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).
