Was't the 2560 known as "Mother Fletcher's Card Mangler?"
It has been a long time since I tossed card decks for sorting.....

My first contact with an IBM computer was a 1401...we got a
360-20 after... if I remember the correct model.

sure; maybe 7030. The 7072 used the slower 7330.

A 729 was the tape device for a 7080/7090/7094. 1410 too IIRC.
Watch Nighthawks with Sly Stallone sometime. 360/30 and 2401's
in that,
and a 1403/2540. Not seen much but it's there. I set them up.
Warehouse on 39th Street on the west side of Manhattan.

ITYM a card sorter. Later on a 727, or a 729 if you're lucky.
