I suspect it Predates the 51. It truly is an ancient dark art. Started my Career as an Off-Line Operator at CINCPACFLT.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I had to learn to read tape in A school off of one, but never used them operationally. Slightly before my time, I think.

PO1 Tom Martin - Close, When both of Us Came Up. To Graduate A-School You had to Type 30 WPM on a Mod 28 and Read Tape at 50 Characters a Minute. When You went Up for First Class You Were No Longer Required to Read Tape but You Had to Type 35 WPM on Your PARS. I think I Typed Out at 39 WPM the Last Time I Had Too.
