I don't remember any of these machines also able
to print info on the cards,
which would stand to reason since all of them had data which wouldn't fit in
the top space. For that we used the interpreter wired to print the
identifying data.
How'd you accomplish that? I never managed to get more than 80 characters
onto a card, and the top edge of the card had plenty of room for that many.
The punch I used was an 029-clone (I'm not sure of the vendor), and I'm
fairly certain that it printed all the columns that it punched.
