Welcome to the continuation of our exploration of the Chernobyl SKALA computer system! This time, we'll be putting its super-fast punch tape reader into action. We have the exact same type of device that stands in the SKALA machine room at Chornobyl NPP – an FS-1501, made in Czechoslovakia in the 1970s. Ours, however, was held in captivity by evil chickens for almost 20 years, so extreme restoration was necessary.
