Fotografija eksponata IBM 129 card data recorder
Opis:
Velika, težka samostoječa belo-siva miza. Na zgornji strani je vgrajena tipkovnica s sivo-modrimi tipkami. Zadaj se iz mize dviguje mehanizem za luknjane kartice. Spredaj ima mehanizem okno iz pleksi stekla. [SLO]: Prebijalniki kartic so bili bistvena orodja v dobi mainframe računalništva in so igrali ključno vlogo pri delovnih tokovih obdelave podatkov, preden se je digitalno shranjevanje in obdelava podatkov široko razširilo. Ti stroji so bili nepogrešljivi deli velikih računalniških sistemov, uporabljeni za ročno kodiranje podatkov na prebijalne kartice, ki so služile kot vhod za programsko opremo in podatke. Programska koda je bila pogosto napisana na prebijalnih karticah, kjer je vsaka kartica predstavljala eno vrstico kode. En sam program je lahko obsegal na tisoče kartic. Zaposleni za vnos podatkov so prebijali kartice, nekdo drug pa je nato preveril njihovo pravilnost, preden so jih vstavili v računalnik. Prebijalnik kartic IBM 129, predstavljen v poznih 1960-ih, je bil napreden kos opreme, namenjen vnosu in obdelavi podatkov. Ta stroj je uporabnikom omogočal prebijanje podatkov na 80-stolpčnih karticah, ki so bile takrat standardni medij za shranjevanje in obdelavo podatkov. IBM 129 je imel tipkovnico za ročni vnos podatkov, bralno postajo za preverjanje pravilnosti prebitih kartic in izhodni zbiralnik za zbrane kartice. V nasprotju s svojimi predhodniki je bil IBM 129 programabilen za izvajanje različnih funkcij, zaradi česar je bil vsestranski za različne aplikacije v poslovanju, znanstvenih raziskavah in vladnih operacijah. Njegove napredne zmožnosti so vključevale pogojno prebijanje, preverjanje podatkov in možnost obdelave več različnih formatov kartic. [ENG]: Card punch machines were essential tools during the mainframe computing era, playing a crucial role in data processing workflows before the widespread adoption of digital storage and processing technologies. These machines were integral parts of large computer systems, used to manually encode data onto punch cards that served as input for both software and data. Program code was often written on punch cards, with each card representing one line of code. A single program could consist of thousands of cards. Data entry employees would punch the cards, after which another person would verify them before they were fed into the computer. The IBM 129 Card Punch, introduced in the late 1960s, was a sophisticated piece of equipment designed for data entry and processing. This machine allowed users to punch data onto 80-column punch cards, which were a standard medium for data storage and processing at the time. The IBM 129 featured a keyboard for manual data entry, a read station to verify the accuracy of the punched cards, and an output hopper to collect the completed cards. Unlike its predecessors, the IBM 129 could be programmed to perform a variety of functions, making it versatile for different applications in business, scientific research, and government operations. Its advanced capabilities included conditional punching, data validation, and the ability to handle multiple card formats.
