  It was Baudot. 5-channel tty code.

  " When they put the Apostle's Creed in
    It was soon replaced by Friden
    Saint Peter has the system well in hand.
    There's a nametape sent from hell
    In the ATR as well
    Sending letters of condolence to the damned."

The Friden CREED papertape handling system was one of the most advanced
papertape systems of its time.  It used 5-channel Baudot tape, still in
use over teletype lines today.
