As usual a measure overtaken by technology faster than expected. CGK/Siemens had by ~1977/78 perfected OCR of single letter handwriting in Forms good enough to process cheques and alike at very high speed (fast enough that a dedicated real mode mainframe was needed to record the data).

By 1980 small scale systems build on a network of 8085 could do the same as desk size units.
