I received a bit of mail from a buddy:
1) IBM 29 card punch + writer machine fitted into a
desk
2) Bendix DATAGRID Digitizer (a large unit) w/ pad (about 1.5 m by 1 m)
The digitizing machine and pad are connected by some
hefty
wires. Les inspected the works and declared "gonna hafta
cut them wires." Maureen suggested that she take a look
at it first.
Does anyone have any information on these two things? My guess is that the
IBM card machine may be pre-computer (programmed by plugboards, etc.).
Also, if I can not claim these things, does anyone want to? They are
located in Chicago.
