New types of punch-card machinery are continually coming into use. Among them are: machines that take in punch cards and make punched paper tape (such as teletype tape), and vice versa—useful for transmitting punch-card information over wires; an electric typewriter operated by punch cards—useful for preparing almanacs for sea and air navigation, etc.; a calculator programmed by punch cards, consisting of an assembly of a tabulator, an electronic calculating punch, and an auxiliary storage unit, all cabled together—useful for some types of long calculation; etc. For information about such machinery, the manufacturers may be consulted.
PUNCH-CARD CALCULATING MACHINERY:
APPLICATIONS
There are many articles in scientific journals on applications of punch-card calculating machinery to technical problems. The fields of engineering, education, indexing, mathematics, surveying, statistics, and others are all represented in the following list of sample references:
