| | Punch Card Machines |
 | | Some punched card machines were in use even in the 1980s as some minor part of computers. | | | The ascendancy of the punched card machines continued until 1960s when they were replaced by real computers. | | | Prior to the actual period of computers the automatic data processing was handled mainly by punched card machines. |

| | KLOTH.NET - Card punch emulator |
| | These perforated punch cards were used by early mainframe computers for input. | | | This punch card emulator is based on the DEC 029 input character set, which maps the IBM 029 character set to the common 6bit upper-case-only subset of ASCII. | | | This emulator is based on the punch code definitions found documented in the article Punched Card Codes by Douglas W. Jones, describing several codes from the Hollerith aera to EBCDIC, and also based on own experiences back in 1986, when I punched my PASCAL/FORTRAN/COBOL programs on a IBM-029 cardpunch for a SPERRY-UNIVAC 1100/80. |

| | The card here is from one of the oldest computer laboratories in the world, the University of Illinois Digital Computer Labratory, home of the ILLIAC computers and builder of ORDVAC. | | | The card shown above is an assembly language card printed for Bell Labs, for the GE 600 computer they purchased in the mid 1960's as part of their work in the Multics project. | | | The card includes fields for both symbolic and numeric addresses, so it is probable that it was used with a rudimentary assembler that directly punched the assembled object code onto the cards holding the source code. |

| | The Punch Card |
| | The punched card input could contain the program that would tell the system what to do with the data, or could be the data itself. | | | The keypunch operators would input the data to cards, and the verifier operators would verify the data was correct. | | | During the early 1960s, at Maine State government, and in businesses, most data was transferred from input sheets to punched cards (80 columns of data). |

| | These cards were sold at the main office of the Andrew R. Jennings Computing Center of the Case Institute of Technology, and a generation punched their first programs onto them, usually written in Algol for the Case UNIVAC 1107. | | | Interestingly, the 90 column card used a binary character code which was far more efficient and computer-oriented than IBM's Hollerith code. | | | In the electromechanical tabulator era, long before electronic computers, IBM locked up Herman Hollerith's patents on the punch card. |

| | The procedures and processes used by modern computers are much the same as those in the old punch card systems: | | | This allowed operators to sort fewer cards during the next processing cycle since the "details" were no longer required. | | | EAM Operators became Computer Programmers, learning how to write in a new computer language called COBOL (COmmon Business-Oriented Language). |

| | Then They Came for the Gypsies: The Legacy of Death's Calculator |
| | All Gypsy cards, once processed, were stamped with IBM's trademark name, Hollerith Erfasst — German for "registered by Hollerith." Gypsies worked in camps across the Third Reich, including Mauthausen, IBM coded 7; Buchenwald, IBM coded 2; and Auschwitz, IBM coded 1. | | | Those cards were printed on IBM's Swift Press in its busy Bucharest facility, which was functioning at its absolute capacity of 20 million cards per year. | | | When Gypsies were allowed to work in camps, they received a prisoner number compatible with the IBM tracking systems maintained by the S.S. Economics Administration, which operated all camps. |
