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.

Whoa...this took me back a few years. I thought these ole punch cards could only be found in museums. Didn't think we'd find one at a cache site. Definitely learned something today...Hollerith, the inventor of the punch card.

Moving Hollerith East so He can catch a ride back North.

Droped it Aug 6th, but it was grabed from me before I could log it.

Benndalebandit was here Aug.6 and left 2 TB's. He is a newbie so I will help him out. First of all, he didn't log he found this cache. Can't help him there. 2nd, he didn't log the TB's till a week later, and I had already picked them up. So I am dropping them off and picking them up again so they will get their miles.

Maybe the last finder hasn't log it yet. I picked it up at a TB hotel in South Carolina. Will move it soon.
