About This Item

Hollerith Card II

In 1896 Herman Hollerith organized the Tabulating Machines Company, which grew in subsequent mergers to become the IBM of today. The Hollerith punched card was the principal means for recording, accounting and archiving functions, not to mention the US census, until recently. In the early 1960's Hollerith cards were the only practical means to input programs for a IBM mainframe, but today these cards are seldom seen.

Took this to Harrisburg for E to help with a Brownie Girl Scout program. Alas, they were not using punchcards, so we left it in a cache so it can try elsewhere.

Took this from Duck & Cover in State College. We'll be travelling to Harrisburg this weekend. Is there a card readin' computer in the State Capitol?

Picked it up from the steps. I'll see if I can't help it along.

I never had to use these, but I did toggle in the bootstrap on one of the first systems I used.
