Pretty cool video. It's just a shame there weren't any closeups of the
punched cards.
I'm just curious... how many cards would a machine like that sort
through in a day, or a week? That counter has 6 digits and it sorted
~90 cards in less than 10 seconds.
Well, an 083 will feed about 1000 cards/minute and a good operator
can keep it running all day. How many cards could be sorted,
depends, of course, on the number of colums being sorted (one pass
per column, plus fumble and jam time...
