IBM-11 Card Punch

[Dave G4UGM]

That's nice. Seems real familiar even though after university I seldom used
one. My cards were usually punched for me from a coding sheet...
... but I did use a hand punch as you say for quick corrections. There must
have been so many of the 029  made, yet so few survive...

The room where these tqo are, I am sure hel about a dozen...
