A BRPE is a high speed 8-level paper tape punch, made by the
Teletype corporation. It generally runs around 50
characters per second, but is rated to 100 CPS. They were
pretty noisy units.

They were 5 6 7 and 8 level models. I need to dig around for an 8-level manual for
bitsavers
since it appears the parts data in the book that I have only covers 5-7 level.
BRPEs were used as the paper tape punch in the PDP-1
Later DEC machines used Litton punch mechanisms

looks like we may have one in the archive

I also see they were used in the Typeset-8 systems

Which is what the things sound like a very loud burp, or a
distant machine gun burst.
