- _paulc 4y agoThe Colossus tape reader could read at c.5000 cps (with the tape running at 27mph [1]) - which is 2.5 x faster (and 20 years before). Worth seeing the replica Colossus at Bletchley if you get a chance. [1] https://www.flickr.com/photos/martintomes/8751941628 https://www.flickr.com/photos/martintomes/8751941628
