Was updating my punch card database/site, www.ibmjunkman.com, and found something I don’t
remember.
The 026/029/129 keypunch units printed above row 12 using a dot matrix style character. I
still marvel at the plate and the whole mechanism that did the printing. The 557
Interpreter could print on different rows using a solid type slug to print.
Is that what produced card 8 in your collection? I vaguely remember solid (not dot
matrix) lettering from Burroughs keypunch machines, which I used (briefly) around 1975.
