Here we have a person trying my souvenir paper tape punching program which punched in block letters text typed on the teletype. The block letter text was frequently used at the beginning of paper tapes for identification of the content. I also have some old manuals where it was used to label the spine. The typing wasn't buffered so it was common for people to type faster than the teletype could punch so they lost letters.
