Re: Of course, It's Windows!

When Michelin closed in Burnley in 2001 we still have a couple of machines that were programmed with a reel of punched paper. You had to use a pencil to run the tape over on one machine to help keep in central while it read the tape. Happy days

I can't remember the computers name now but the machines job was to make sure the wagon tyres were balanced. I expect there are still some left in the world running on paper tape at other Michelin factories. I think Ballymena In Northern Ireland had some and they are still open.
