I would teach my Soldiers about the history and operation of it. Every unit I was in had one of these because of MILTOE requirements.

Yes! Those things suck! The paper tapes were really thin and crappy. Every time you would try to feed the tape in, it would just crunch up on the feeder side. Once you got a wrinkle in that tape, good luck ever feeding it through the reader again. Talk about ancient technology...

I've seen pics of the tapes before. I can only imagine the struggle.

I used to pull tape through a KOI-18 and then have to burn the tape. Which sucks because that tape is waxy and does not burn for crap. This was in the early 2000s, so not that long ago.
