Unusual Punched Cards

[Donald via cctalk]

This card is shorter than 40 columns but I can't tell if it has been cut off
or not. I only have 1 so I can't let it go.

Can you give us a clue as to the locale of those renaissance festivals.
That might prompt me to go.

Did you already get a street organ "book"?  Similar to punched cards in a way, 
though semi-analog (the time element is analog).

I donated my Jacquard punch to Techworks in Binghamton NY. I forget
what the format is. You might ask them. It is likely I will not be
there for a while

I did a video (on Youtube). I think it is called "A Most Unusual Card
Punch" or something like that.

Unusual Punched Cards

[Peter Van Peborgh via cctalk]

Guys,

I have been collecting all types of computer punched cards for a few years
now. In the distant past I actually used them!

I am desperately looking for two types I do not have been able to find a
sample of:
*   Jacquard fabric/carpet loom cards. OK, not computer but the
ancestor, for completeness of the history. There may be several formats of
these.
*   Original Hollerith card, 12 rows by 24 columns. Once again, this is
a long shot.

Well if you don't ask, you never get! Thank you for your interest. Peter
