In the early 1970s CPI also had a branch in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. This division made punched card readers and 9-track magnetic tape drives for both parent companies (CDC and NCR).
In 1978 CDC bought [[controlling interest]] of CPI. CPI produced several train printers under the CDC and Fastrain brands, including the CDC Model 512 (1967), the Fastrain A 1200 LPM (1969) and the Fastrain 9372-III 2000 LPM (1976).<ref>{{cite book |last=Webster |first=Edward |year=2001 |title=Print Unchained: 50 Years of Digital Printing, 1950-2000 and Beyond |publisher=Dra of Vermont |isbn=0-9702617-0-5}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=https://printer-repairs.com.au/ |title= Printer Repair Guide }} Sunday, 18 April 2021 </ref>
In 1977, CPI began manufacturing printers at a factory in Stevenage, Herts, UK that was originally used for the manufacture of ICL1900 computers. By 1979, the factory also made 9-track tape drives which were used in ICL and CDC computers, and were sold with industry-standard interfaces for use with other manufacturer's computers.
