The only problem, if I recall correctly, was that they did their timing
using the sprocket holes in the tape... so a missing or mispunched
sprocket hole was big trouble, whereas a tape reader with mechanical feed
wasn't troubled by it.  (And yes, I have seen tape punches which would
occasionally omit a sprocket hole.)
