That would have been a punch ... the pictures here do not show a
punch rather a print wheel of some kind with a limited symbol set.
I'd almost expect this to be some kind of custom tape printer -
like an old financial quote "ticker" - perhaps a rail schedule

It looks similar to what was used when I was in the US Navy and the radioman on board
typed or "cut tapes" of outgoing message traffic. The tape was then run through
a different machine that sent the msg out via RTTY.
