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.

This bug is alive and well in the Travel Bug Spa; I checked it today. If it's not moved soon, I'll run another "rescue Mission" and move it out.

Haven't seen one these in 10^6 years! For whatever reason, every time I see one of these, I think of the libraries and business college at Arizona State. I used to stacks of them around there. They were also tucked in the little pocket in the front of every book I checked out. That was a lonnnnnggg time ago! Good luck finding your big blue machine Hollerith II!

A stop in Conn. should get it closer to it's home origin.

Had to grab this guy as I used to work on IBM 360/20 and 360/30 mainframes. Will move it to Conn in the next day or two. Just a little closer to it's origin.
