	Keypunch Operator
		The Keypunch Operator 2 class is the level for fully trained operators in positions where complexity, pressure and variety are constant components and supervision received is limited.
		Previous experience is not required for a Keypunch Operator 1, but a minimum of three months' experience as a Keypunch Operator 1 is required for the Keypunch Operator 2 level.
		The employee is called upon to fulfill assignments requiring a greater degree of experience and efficiency and is expected to exercise initiative and independent judgment and works with little or no supervision.

	Key punch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In some cases decks of punched cards were then sent to a second machine called a verifier, which looked a lot like a key punch.
		Its operator entered the exact same data as the keypuncher, but the verifier machine merely checked to see if the data was the same.
		The circuits used 150VDC, which was present in the keyboard (you did NOT want to spill a drink on it!).

	Punch card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Data was entered on a machine called a keypunch, which was like a large (desk-sized), very noisy typewriter.
		Completed forms were sent to the keypunch department where operators typed them in, one line to a card.
		Punched-card systems fell out of favor in the mid to late 1970s, as disk storage became cost-effective, and affordable interactive terminals meant that users could edit their work with the computer directly rather than requiring the intermediate step of the punched cards.

		In the olden days, computer data was encoded by rectangular holes punched in thin pieces of cardboard about the size of an old dollar.
		This program simulates a "keypunch", a mechanical device for punching those holes.
		(Keypunches themselves were programmable, but there's no way to program this one; tab stops are set permanently.) A carriage return feeds a new card.

		Keypunching in its most simple form, adding machine operation, may well be the pinnacle of repetitious mundane job duties but almost all financial professionals are forced to spend some time operating adding machines.
		There exists a need therefore, for the ready and perhaps immediate identification of keypunch errors as they may occur to alert the operator of the potential for such errors facilitating the verification and correction of such erroneous keypunch entries before they may become manifested and not readily identifiable within a lengthy series of computations.

	Econ 121 - Quiz 2 - Fall 1999
		They were called "keypunch" cards and the people who punched the holes in them were called "keypunch operators." Keypunch operators were highly skilled; they needed to understand data structures and be fast, accurate typists.
		Instead of keypunch operators, companies now wanted "data-entry operators." Being a data-entry operator required less skill, as entry errors were easier to fix.
		This causes wages and employment (P and Q) to fall in keypunch and rise in data-entry.

	The IBM 026 Key Punch
		Of course if the column was mispunched, you swore under your breath, hit the release key to feed the current card, duped up to the error using the next blank card, then continued punching from that point.
		When you released this card (or it auto-released after column 80) you quickly grabbed the mis-punched card out of the flipper as it was being stacked and threw it in the trashcan, which was invariably on the left side of the keypunch for this purpose.
		When starting with an empty keypunch, you loaded a handful of cards in the feed hopper and hit "feed" twice to load the first card of the deck into the punch position.

	Doug Jones's punched card codes
		The IBM model 026 keypunch, introduced in July 1949, was the workhorse of much early work in business data processing, and although it was incapable of automatically punching the large character set required by most programming languages, many model 026 punches remained in use into the early 1970's.
		The IBM model 029 keypunch, introduced around 1964, was the most common keypunch of the late 1960's and early 1970's.
		Note that the two characters shown as centered dots (·) on the 1108 keypunch are the characters with codings that differ from those used on the IBM 70x.

	Conversations from the Old Programmers' Home
		An old-timer is someone who could program the drum on a keypunch so that new cards automatically skip to column 7, and so that the keypunch automatically skips to the next card after the old-timer types in column 72.
		An old-timer is someone who could use the duplicate feature on a keypunch to retype a card automatically while adding a character in the middle of the card.
		A notch baby is someone who could 'accidentally' jam one of the dozen 026s in the keypunch room, go get a Coke, and come back to find that (oddly enough), the jammed keypunch was still free, clear the jam, and continue punching his WATFIV Game of Life program for CSE 110.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Chad
		We use the word "CHAD" to refer to the little square bits of paper that do not completely separate from punch card ballots when voters poke a hole in the ballot to mark their choice.
		However, his name was soon forgotten because the users of his technology made the mistaken assumption that the "Chadless Keypunch" was so called for the benefit of providing keypunch operation "without chad." By such historical accidents does our lexicon evolve.
		With all the interest in chads generated by the 2000 presidential election, it was inevitable this apocryphal etymology for the word 'chad' would resurface with a vengeance.

	The IBM 029 Key Punch
		The IBM 29 Card Punch (also called the 029 or Type 029 Key Punch or Keypunch), introduced about 1964 to coincide with the introduction of the IBM 360.
		Here's a 1986 view of Columbia's last public keypunch, an 029 model (with a pair of DEC VT101 terminals to its left), in the picturesque SSIO Area:
		In 1971, IBM announced its last key punch, the 129, which was an 029 with buffer memory, allowing data to be entered, checked, and edited before committing it to the card; storing up to six different formatting programs (equivalent to program-drum cards); and able to accumulate counts and totals.
