A punched tape cartridge for the Friden 5126 Computyper, a programmable typewriter that could run basic accounting programs. As described in one ad: "You can switch from one application to another just by switching cartridges." The tape was a closed loop so no rewinding was required. Cartridges for specific needs could be punched by the Friden distributor.
