Punch cards. I spent a lot of time at the keypunch in the early 70s,
entering FORTRAN programs. A sampling of card types is shown, along
with an aluminum IBM Card Registration Guage and a 129 Card Removal
Tool, better known as a
card saw.
The Aperture Card has an attached strip of microfilm, which in this
case is an engineering drawing of a Circuit Card Assembly for some
sort of power supply.
The blue item is a card weight, and is used in a card reader or
sorter to hold the cards down in the input hopper. The cylinder
is the program drum from an 029 keypunch, and is used to hold the
program card.
The two card decks are for the IBM 1401,
and play music (Anchors Aweigh, and She'll Be Comin' 'Round the
Mountain) on the 1403 line printer. See Ed Thelen's IBM 1401
restoration site for audio files of the
1403
playing music.
