We are trying to locate a source to enable us to punch a few dozen cards in Remington Rand format (90 column, round holes), and a source which can print on the cards the data punched into the cards. Both manual and powered punches were manufactured, but we have not been able to locate anything, even in museums. Similarly, we have been unable to locate any printer that could be used. This card format was used into the 60s, and maybe survived into the 70s or later, so there certainly ought to be something out there.
