Guys,
I have been collecting all types of computer punched cards for a few years
now. In the distant past I actually used them!
I am desperately looking for two types I do not have been able to find a
sample of:
* Jacquard fabric/carpet loom cards. OK, not computer but the
ancestor, for completeness of the history. There may be several formats of
these.
* Original Hollerith card, 12 rows by 24 columns. Once again, this is
a long shot.
Well if you don't ask, you never get! Thank you for your interest. Peter

I donated my Jacquard punch to Techworks in Binghamton NY. I forget
what the format is. You might ask them. It is likely I will not be
there for a while
I did a video (on Youtube). I think it is called "A Most Unusual Card
Punch" or something like that.

Did you already get a street organ "book"? Similar to punched cards in a way,
though semi-analog (the time element is analog).
