Let's not get sloppy here, there is (was) 5-hole (Telex) and 7-hole (TWX, later renamed Telex II) paper tape. Back in the early eighties, I had to hunt down an owner of an actual Telex unit to transliterate a spool of 5-hole to text, so that I could have one of the secretaries punch that onto 7-hole tape.
