The 16� Typical Application Areas
<br />The 160 Computer can be put to use in many
<br />ways. It can be expanded from the basic system
<br />which includes a 350 character per second Fer-
<br />ranti punched paper tape reader and 60 character
<br />per second Teletype pa�er tape punch, to a full-
<br />scale data processing system. Optional equipanent
<br />includes up to eight magnetic tape handiers, card
<br />reader card punch line ri t d 1
<br />� , p n er, an e ectrtc type-
<br />writer. Tape reels are compatible electrically and
<br />mechanically with IBM Tape Systems. '�'he follow-
<br />ing list of typical applications indicates the versa-
<br />tility provided by the 160 Computer.
