IBM Type 011 Mechanical Card Punch (with electrical assist).IBM\'s Type 011 Electric Punch. Introduced in 1923, when IBM cards had 45 columns and round holes. This was the first punch with electric power; holes are punched by electromagnets rather than muscle power, at a great reduction in operator fatigue. Strictly numeric, the machine also includes a tabbing feature similar to typewriter tab stops.
The keyboard of the Type 011 has 12 keys, one for each of the 12 rows of the card, plus a Release and a Space key. Each key press punchesa hole in the corresponding row and advances the card one column. The X (11) key also tabs to the next tab stop (if any).
This machine shows an 80-column card positioned for punching. Thus one must suppose that after 1928, the Type 011 was engineered for 80-column cards with rectangular holes.
I acquired this machine in this condition in the early 1980s with a plan to restore it to near new....but time and other endeavors got in the way.
It is time for me to part with it so someone else can give it a new home.
Understand that it is FREE shipping in the continental US. This is significant as this machine weighs over 25lbs.
