What were some interesing record unit machines from IBM
Card punches:
Which IBM card punch had a dial on the upper part of
the keyboard? I used one, but I forget what the dial
was for.
Card Sorters:
What is the machine that read card and could add
information and print reports, usually programmed with
a patch panel?
Were there any machines that read cards and wrote to
Mag tape?
Is there a collection of Information on the Internet
about these beasts?

If you want more respect given to your questions, try the following:
use correct grammar and punctuation, do some pre-research
yourself first, limit your questions at first to one or two.
An example here would be to mention product numbers
for the things you're trying to get information on.
Show some respect To the list, and you'll get more From it.

reply tag and at the bottom of the message, where he signed it, "John A.",
just like all his messages.
