IBM Keypunch

This is the type of IBM keypunch machine used in the 1960s and 1970s. Operators by the tens of thousands would spend a full shift keypunching orders, time cards and a host of other transactions.

I payed for my college education with this machine!

Of course, we were required to produce 2,000 cards per hour, and that was the most difficult job that I have ever had in my life.

I took a class in which we had to produce some programs using a machine similar to this one...but we didn't have to punch 2000 -- EVER!

LOL! Gads! I ran one of these noisy things in the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game in Juneau in the 1960s.
