I recently finished reading “Colossus – the secrets of Bletchley Park’s Codebreaking Computers” by B. Jack Copeland and others. They routinely managed 5000 characters per second with punched tape in 1944 using the world’s first valve based stored program digital computer (ENIAC was not the first). On page 146 they describe the use of lenses and double-crescent masks to generate a nearly rectangular pulse of light for the photoelectric reader as a circular hole passed the light source… perhaps an idea for your third revision…
