Notes:
1. This document describes
the
Model 3 (punch-print-
verify) machine, which has a single combination punch/
read station. The Model 1 also has a combination
station. Initial Model 2 machines (punch-print) have a
separate punch
station
and read station, similar
to
the
IBM
29 Card Punch. Model 2 machines with serial
numbers 2xxxx and higher will have a single
combina-
tion
punch/read station,
the
same as
the
Model 1 and 3
machines.
All operations are
the
same
on
all Model 2 machines,
whether
they
have
the
separate read and
punch
stations
or
the
combination punch/read station.
2. This document states.
that
column indicator shows
CC
when a correction card should be
punched
in verify
mode
on
Models 1 and 3. (See
"Column
Indicator,"
"VER
CORR (Verify Correction) Key," "Verify a
Card,"
and
"Punch
a Verify Correction Card.") This
CC
indication will
not
be available on initial shipment
Modell
and 3 machines;
it
will be provided
on
machines
with serial numbers
2xxxx
and higher.
On initial Model 1
and
3 machines,
without
the
CC
indication, column indicator will show
00
for
the
preceding situation. All operations
are
the same for all
machines;
only
the
indication
on
the column indicator
is
different.

SPECIAL
FEATURES
The following special features are described under "Special
Features Summary":
•
Production Statistics.
• Accumulate.
• Additional Accumulate Program Levels.
• Self-checking Number Device (Modulus 10 or 11).
• Direct Punch Control.

DATA
STORAGE
The
129
Card Data Recorder contains input and
output
sections
of
data storage. Each storage section can store
80
characters
or
columns
of
card information recorded in
electronic form. Data keyed for punching is
stored
(recorded) in input storage. The column indicator shows
the
input storage position where the next character
is
to
be
recorded.
If
a character
is
keyed incorrectly, the machine
can be backspaced and the correct character can
be
keyed.
Rekeying erases
the
incorrect character in input storage
and
records
the
corrected character. After a card data record
is
complete in
input
storage,
it
is transferred
to
output
storage
and
then
punched
in a card. While
the
card
is
being
punched from
output
storage, the
next
card record can be
keyed into
input
storage. (See Figure 1.)
For duplicating, data from
the
record in
output
storage
is
transferred
to
input
storage
and
becomes part
of
the input
record.
In a verify operation,
the
punched card
to
be verified
is
read into
input
storage,
and
the keyed data
is
compared
with the data read into input storage. Errors can be
corrected in input storage by a correction routine, and a
correction card can be punched immediately after comple-
tion
of
each record verification. For verify duplicating, data
in
output
storage
is
compared with data in
input
storage.

ALPHA
(Alphabetic
Shift) Key
Pressing ALPHA key shifts keyboard into alpha mode,
as
long as key is held down.
When
this key
is
released,
machine returns
to
shift indicated by program.
NUMERIC (Numeric Shift)
Key
Pressing NUMERIC key shifts keyboard into numeric mode,
as long
as
key
is
held down. The numeric shift key must be
held down when operating in program level
0 and numeric
keying
is required.
It
is used
to
override alpha programming
when under program control.
If
both
NUMERIC and
ALPHA shift keys are pressed, numeric shift takes precedence.
CHAR BKSP
(Character
Backspace)
Key
Each depression
of
CHAR BKSP key causes one manual
column
of
backspacing,
or
unlocks keyboard (without a
character backspace operation)
if
keyboard was locked due
to
an invalid key depression. When used after an error in
verify mode, before rewrite,
it
resets
the
error condition
and allows additional verify attempts
of
character in
question. When used
after rewrite, it allows reverification of
rewritten character.
Note: Character backspace will
not
reset a program select condition after PROG SEL key has
been pressed. Either complete
the
selection
or
use FIELD
BKSP
key
to
reset program select condition.
FIELD/WORD BKSP (Field/Word Backspace) Key
A depression
of
FIELD BKSP key returns column indicator
to
first column
of
field being keyed.
If
in first column
of
a
field, pressing this key returns column indicator
to
start
of
previous manual field.
The FIELD
BKSP key operates as a word backspace key
when used in conjunction with
the
ALPHA shift key.
Pressing ALPHA shift key and FIELD BKSP key returns
column indicator to column following last space
that
was
spacebar entered,
or
to first column
of
a manual field,
whichever comes first. Any backspace key (character,
field/word,
or
record) may be used to unlock a locked
keyboard. Backspace does not change
the
current program
level.
MULT PCH (Multiple Punch) Key
Pressing MULT PCH key places keyboard in numeric shift
and prevents column indicator from advancing while
ihdividual codes are keyed.
If
multiple'. punch special
character
is
not
one
of
standard 64 characters, printing
is
suppressed
..
VER/DUP (Verify
or
Duplicate) Key
VER/DUP key is' used
to
duplicate
or
verify a column or
field
of
data from previous record in
output
storage. This
key
is
inoperative unless data has been keyed or read into
output
storage.
Wheri
this key
is
held down, it repeats the
function
at
a rate of 10 fields/second in program levels 1-6,
or
10
columns/second in program level
O.
Verify Mode: In a left-zero programmed field, it must be
the first key pressed in
the
field; this key
is
inactive in any
other
position
of
the
field.
BLANK COLUMNS/LEFT ZERO CTRL (Control)
Key
Punch Mode: Pressing LEFT ZERO CTRL key, after a
character
or
characters for a field are keyed, starts a
left~zero
(fill) operation if keyboard
is
in numeric shift or
starts a left-blank (fill) operation if keyboard
is
in alpha
shift. This key
is
not
operative in first position
of
any field.
Use
-LZ
key for minus over units position and start LZ
fill operation combined. For filled field (all digits, no
O's),
use "MULT P(jH (Multiple Punch) Key" procedure for
minus over units position. Maximum length
of
a single
LZ
field
is
79 positions.
Verify Mode: In any field, pressing BLANK COLUMNS key
verifies blanks until a character
or
end
of
a field
is
reached.
In
units position
of
a programmed left-zero
field~
this key
only performs left-zero control function. This key must be
pressed after verification
of
units position
of
field; other-
wise, keyboard lockup occurs.
Use
-LZ
key after units
position verification for minus over units position verify
and LZ control operation combined.

VER
RES (Verify Reset) Key
Verify Mode Only: Pressing VER RES key resets a verify
error condition and allows a second verify attempt. If verify
error
is
signaled again, reset is performed and third
keystroke rewrites storage with the new character. After
rewrite, perform character backspace and reverify;
other-
wise, machine will lock at

Graphics and Card Codes
PROGRAM CARD CODES
A program card, which is a basic part
of
program control,
is
prepared for each punching application. Proper punching
in
this program card controls automatic operations for corresponding columns
of
data cards being punched or verified.
Each row
in
program card governs a specific function. (See
Figure 5.)

Operating Procedures
POWER ON
Setting
the
mainline switch
to
ON
resets (erases) all stored
programs and data, and selects program level
0 regardless
of
PROGRAM
MODE
dial setting.
Program level 0 control is
80
single-position fields (alpha
shift).
Program levels 1-6,
at
this time, are controlled
as
80
single-position fields (numeric shift). Program selection
is
possible, although program levels 1-6 are identical, until
programs are read into program storage.
Punching and verifying can be done under program level 0
or
1-6 control. However,
the
first operation normally
performed, after power is turned on, is
to
store the
programs desired in program levels 1-6.
New program cards may be punched before programs are
loaded by using
the
"Punch a Card" procedure.
STORE A PROGRAM (Program Load)
The desired program cards must be read into program
storage
to
allow program control
to
be active during
keying:
1. Operate CLEAR switch if card bed
is
not
clear.
2.
Set AUTO SKIP/DUP
to
OFF.
129 Card Data Recorder/Machine Description
18
3. Set PROGRAM
MODE
to
desired program level (1-6).
4. Insert program card at punch/read station (punch or
verify mode),
or
feed card one cycle from
the
hopper
to
the pre-register position (punch mode). Card must not
be registered.
5.
Press READ pushbutton.
Repeat steps
3-5
for each program card
to
be stored. Each
program load operation reads program card data into
selected program storage level, stacks card in stacker, and
sets machine
to
column 01
of
that
program level. Programs
remain in storage until a new program
is
read into that
program level
or
until a power off/on operation resets
them.
Note: In punch mode, up
to
six program cards may be
placed in hopper, fed singly, and program loaded
by
repeating steps· 3-5. Then set PROGRAM
MODE
dial,
manually select desired program level, and set
PUNCH/
VERIFY switch
to
PUNCH
or
VERIFY
to
start operation.
PUNCH OUT A PROGRAM
To check
that
a particular program has been stored
at
a
specified level, punch
out
the
program on a blank card:
1. Operate CLEAR switch
if
card bed is
not
clear.
2.
Set PUNCH/VERIFY switch
to
PUNCH.
3. Set AUTO SKIP/DUP
to
OFF.
4.
Set REC
ADV
/CARD FEED
to
MANUAL.
5. Set PROGRAM
MODE
to
PROG
PCH.
6. Insert blank card at punch station,
or
feed blank card
from hopper.
7. Press REG (registers a card).
8. Press REL (sets column indicator
at
00).
9. Press PROG SEL followed by data key (1-6) for
program level desired.
Punch out follows and card
is ejected.
If
data key 0
is
pressed after PROG SEL, a blank card results. Repeat steps
6·9 for each program to be punched out.
All
program cards are automatically printed (Models 2
and 3) during program punchout operation regardless
of
PRINT switch setting. Program punchout may be done
at
any time. Machine
is
set
to
that
program level
at
conclusion
of
program punchout.
PUNCH A CARD
This procedure applies for punching data cards
or
for
punching program cards (before a program has been
loaded), using either program level
0
or
program levels 1-6.
When programs have been read into storage, card
punching can begin under program format control:
1. Place blank cards in hopper.
2.
Operate CLEAR switch
if
card bed is not clear.
3. Set
PUNCH/VERIFY switch
to
PUNCH.
4. Set AUTO SKIP/DUP
to
OFF.
5.
Set REC
ADV
/CARD FEED
to
AUTO.
6.
Set PRINT
to
ON/OFF, as desired.
7. Set CHARACTER
MODE
to 48/64, as desired.
8. Press FEED key (feeds two cards).
9. Set PROGRAM
MODE
to
desired program level (1-6 or
0). Manually select desired program level by pre$ing
PROG SEL followed
by
data key 1-6
or
0 (first record
only).
10. Key first card record manually. Duplicating
is
not
active and skipping
is
under manual control for first
card. After first record
lias been keyed:
11. Set
AUTO SKIP/DUP
to
ON.
On following records, programmed duplicating and
skipping are performed automatically, and program level
selection at start
of
each record is automatic, under control
of
PROGRAM
MODE
dial. Any field programmed for
manual entry may be manually keyed, duplicated from last
record,
or
skipped by manual operation.
If
an
error
is
made
in keying, a backspace-rewrite operation
is
required.
Operating Procedures
19
READ DATA
During this operation, a data card
is
read into
output
storage,
to
be used for new
"master"
card data for
duplication into
the
following record:
1. Operate CLEAR switch if card bed
is
not
clear.
2. Set
PROGRAM
MODE
to
DATA READ.
3. Insert data card
at
punch/read station (punch
or
verify
mode),
or
feed card one cycle from hopper
to
pre-
register position (punch mode). Card must not be
registered.
4. Press READ pushbutton.
The machine
is
automatically set
to
program level 0
(alpha shift) and card
is
stacked. Continue desired operation after setting PROGRAM MODE dial, and manually
selecting proper program level. Data from the data read
operation cannot be punched
out
from
output
storage,
except by duplication into following record.
VERIFY A CARD
Verify. procedures are normally performed under program
control:
1. Place cards to
be verified in card hopper.
2.
Operate CLEAR switch
if
card bed
is
not
clear.
3. Set PUNCH/VERIFY switch
to
VERIFY.
4. Set AUTO SKIP/DUP
to
OFF.
129 Card Data Recorder/Machine Description
20
5. Set REC ADV /CARD FEED to AUTO.
6. Set PRINT
to
ON/OFF (affects correction punched
cards only).
7. Set CHARACTER
MODE
to 48/64, as desired.
8. Press FEED key (feeds
one
card). The first card
is
read
and stored in input storage.
9. Set
PROGRAM
MODE
to
desired program level (1-6 or
0). Manually select desired program level by pressing
PROG SEL followed
by
data key 1-6
or
0 (first record
only).
Begin verify operation by keying first record from source
document. Duplicating
is
not
active and skipping
is
under
manual control for
the
first verify record. After first record
has been verified:
10.
Set AUTO SKIPjDUP
to
ON.
On
following records, programmed verify duplicating and
skipping are
perfo~ed
automatically, and program level
selection at start
of
each record
is
automatic, under control
of
PROGRAM
MODE
dial.
At
completion
of
keying,
if
no
errors exist, a 2· and a
3-punch are punched in column 81
of
original card to
signify an
OK verify without errors.
If
column indicator
shows 88, a field (or record) must be reverified.
If
column
indicator shows
CC,
a correction card should be punched.
Refer
to
"VER
RES (Verify Reset) Key" and
"VER
CORR
(Verify Correction) Key" descriptions under "Keyboard
Controls"
for error correction routines.
PUNCH A
VERIFY
CORRECfION
CARD
This procedure
is
used during verify mode operation
to
punch a verify correction card after a verify record has been
corrected in input storage. The column indicator shows
CC
for card correction:
1.
Insert blank card at punch station. Card must
not
be
registered.
2. Press VER CORR.
The card is registered
and
punched with corrected data.
Only a 2-punch is punched in column 81
to
signify
that
a
correction was made during verify operation. The error card
has no punches in column 81 and may be discarded. The
following card
is
fed and read; verification continues.
Note:
If
correction card punching
is
not
desired, use FEED
or
CLEAR,
find
continue verify operation. The FEED key
allows manual
or
auto dup in following record. The CLEAR
key prevents dup in following record. The error card
is
stacked with no punches in column 81.
Once a rewrite has been done in verify mode or record
has been released, column 81
is
not punched in original
card.
If
it
is
desired
to
have column 81 punched (because
of
verify operator error, and card
is
correct as originally
punched), card must be inserted in hopper, fed, and then
verified without error.
ADD A PUNCH
To add a punch
to
an existing punched card, because
repunching (makeover)
of
original card
is
not desirable,
proceed as follows:
1.
Operate CLEAR switch if card bed
is
not
clear.
2. Set
AUTO SKIP/DUP
to
OFF.
3.
Set REC ADV/CARD FEED
to
MANUAL.
4. Set PRINT to ON/OFF,
as
desired.
5.
Space or manually skip in input storage to desired
column.
6.
Key
only added character
or
characters.
Use
manual
alpha or numeric shift if shift
of
program level
is
not
known.
7. Press REL (column indicator advances
to
00).
8. Register the existing punched card at punch station.
9. Set REC ADV/CARD FEED
to
AUTO.
The punched card will be "overpunched" with spaces in
all columns, and desired added punch( es) will
be
punched
in column(s) in which it was keyed.
An
alternate procedure would be
to
data read a blank
card, manually dup
to
desired column, key the data,
release, and proceed
to
step 8.
Operating Procedures 21
REPUNCH (MAKE OVER) A CARD
Repunching a card
that
must be altered
or
corrected by
changing existing punches is done as follows:
1.
Perform
"Read
Data"
procedure with
the
punched card.
(machine is automatically in program level
0, alpha
shift.)
2. Set REC ADV/CARD FEED
to
AUTO.
3. Set PRINT
to
ON/OFF, as desired.
4. Manually
dup
up
to
column(s) requiring a change
or
correction, key
the
correction,
then
manually dup
balance
of
the
card.
5. Register a blank card
at
punch
station,
and
card is
then

Operating Procedures 23
REMOVE A CARD JAM
The
IBM
129 uses "fiber optics" in the read mechanism
to
provide high reliability and quiet operation. Card jams can
normally be removed by pressing card release pushbutton
and by pulling jammed card gently, or by pushing pieces of
jammed card with another card.
Try
to
assemble jammed·card pieces together
to
be sure
that all pieces have been removed and
to
facilitate
makeover
of
the card.
If
all
pieces cannot be removed, try
the following procedure in punch mode:
1. Set PRINT and
AUTO SKIPjDUP
to
OFF.
2.
Set REC
ADV
JCARD
FEED
to
MANUAL.
3.
R~move
any loose cards from
card
bed.
4. Manually select program
O.
(Keyboard
is
in alpha shift.)
5. Key
in all 80 columns, with &,
-,
and digits 0-9,
sequentially.
6. Manually insert a card
at
punch station.
7. Press REG.
8. Press card release pushbutton;
hold
it down through
step 9.
9. Manually select program
O.
(Press PROG SEL, then
data key 0.) Punchout follows; however,
the
card does
not move while you press card release pushbutton.
10. Tear a strip
of
card about 1-inch wide and use
it
(or the
special
"type
129 card saw")
to
push
out
pieces
of
card
which may still be under the punch.
11.
Repe~t
this entire procedure, using
DUP
key for step 5.
Do
the
procedure several times if pieces
of
card are still
jammed.
129 Card Data Recorder /Machine Description
24
Note:
If
card
saw
must be used, be sure
to
use only the
special
"type
129 card saw"
that
is
included with every
machine.
CARD INFORMATION
1. Cards with upper left or upper right corner cuts are
acceptable although printing may be affected by size
of
cut.
2. Cards with lower corner cuts (except lower left corner
cut
C-3,
30-degree, 0.130-inch base measurement)
cannot be fed.
3.
Round corner cards are acceptable.
ACOUSTIC COVER
An acoustic cover for the card transport
of
the
IBM
129
is
available
to
provide further noise reduction, in addition
to
that
resulting from the use
of
fiber optics sensing, electronic storage, and sound-reduced mechanical components.
The cover
is
similar
to
the acoustic cover for the
IBM
29/59 macbine; it may be field installed.
KEYBOARD LOCKUP RECOVERY
The
IBM
129 has several machine and keyboard interlocks
to
prevent invalid
or
erroneous operation,
to
detect
potential errors, and
to
ensure accurate data during punch
or verify operations. Recovery procedures are:
Punch
or
Verify Mode
Invalid character key.
Attempted duplication after
CLEAR.
Invalid program selection.
Hopper

If
the preceding recovery procedures do
not
correct the
lockup,
use
CLEAR and restart
the
operation, being sure
to
check switch settings and
to
follow the standard operating
procedures. Check
the
program being used,
via

ask your supervisor for assistance.
Operating Procedures 25
Special
Features
Summary
The following special features are available for the
IBM
129
Card Data Recorder.
PRODUCfION
STATISTICS
The production statistics feature provides statistics
on
card
punch/verifier production for use in measurement
of
work
load, analysis
of
errors,
and
job accounting. This feature
provides a combination electronic counter package.
Keystroke
Counter
This six-position counter (000,000
to
999,999) counts
every data keystroke in punch and verify mode, and
all
functional keystrokes except: alpha, numeric, multipunch,
feed, register, program select, dup, verify correction, and
verify
reset.
It
does
not
decrement; overflow rolls from
999,999
to
000,000.
Card
Counter
This four-position counter (0000
to
9999) counts every
output
record in punch mode and every verify correct or
correction punched card in verify mode.
It
does
not
count
error cards in verify mode, program cards read in, and data
cards read in.
It
counts program cards
or
accumulator total
cards
that
are punched out. The counter does
not
decre-
ment; overflow rolls from 9999
to
0000.
129 Card Data Recorder /Machine Description 26
Verify Correction Keystroke
Counter
This four-position counter (0000
to
9999) counts each
verify correction rewrite keystroke in verify mode.
It
does
not decrement; overflow rolls from 9999
to
0000.
Operation
All
counting
is
done automatically under machine control,
not
under operator or program control.
All
counters may
be punched out,
or
punched
out
and reset, under operator-
keyboard control. Selective counter punchout
is
not
possible. Indicative data (operator number, machine number,
date, job, etc.) may be manually punched in columns 1-66
of
the total card. These keystrokes are counted in key-
stroke counter,
but
total card
is
not
counted in card
counter.
Totals may be punched by batch, job,
or
day, etc.
All
counters are reset
to
0 when machine power
is
turned off.
This feature may be field installed.
Note: In verify mode, error cards, which are
not
counted in
card counter, may be collected and counted separately and
the
number punched with other indicative data
in
the total
card
to
provide additional data on errors per card, etc.
Punchout
Procedure
Production statistics totals are punched in columns 67-80,
under control
of
PROGRAM
MODE
and REL. Punch
out
is
done by the operator
as
follows:
1. Set machine to punch mode. Set PRINT switch
to
ON,
if desired.
2. Register a card; set REC ADV/CARD FEED switch
to
AUTO.
3.
Key
indicative information, as desired, in columns 1-66,
using any desired program level (0-6).
4. In column 67,
or
prior:
a. Set PROGRAM
MODE
to
STAT
PCH.
b.
Press REL
to
cause punchout
without
reset
of
statistics counters.
c.
Press and hold NUMERIC shift and press REL
to
cause punchout
with
reset
of
statistics counters.
5.
If
a keystroke, other than REL,
is
mad~
in column 67,
production statistics will
not
be punched
out
when REL
is
pressed (although card will be punched with indicative
data)
unle~
appropriate backspace recovery
to
column
67 or prior
is
made before REL
is
pressed.
6. Punchout occurs as follows:

manually select desired program level
to
continue
operation.
Special Features Summary
27
ACCUMULATE (Requires Expansion
Feature
as
Prerequisite)
The accumulate feature provides the ability
to
balance
to
a
predetermined total,
to
create a hash total for a group of
cards or a batch
of
work,
or
to
crossfoot and punch totals
in the same card or. in a following card, under program
control.
Accumulate consists
of
three 14-position, individual
accumulators
that
add any numeric manually keyed or
duplicated fields, in punch
or
verify mode, into any
accumulator, under program control. The maximum size
of
the input field
is
14 positions, and any total beyond the
14th position will carry into the 15th position, and will
maintain a valid total up to 19 positions. A minus
accumulate condition occurs if an 11-punch
is
multi-
129 Card Data Recorder/Machine Description
28
punched in units position. Amounts
to
be accumulated in
punching can be entered only by keying
or
duplicating, not
by a data read operation.
Operation
Accumulate arithmetic occurs only after entire record has
been keyed; therefore, there are
no
restrictions
on
the use
of any backspace functions during keying. Any field can be
programmed
to
add into any or all accumulators.
In verify mode, only verified correct data is accumulated,
and total fields are automatically verified for accuracy. An
error in an automatically verified
total
field
is
indicated by
AC
on
column indicator. The correction card
that
is
punched will contain the correct totals based
on
all verified
data.
Program control
of
the accumulator uses the 4-, 5-,6-,
7-,
8-punches
of
the program card; accumulate control is active
only
ir..
program levels 1 and 2 unless the "additional
accumulate program levels" feature is also installed, which
expands accumulate control
to
program levels 3-4-5-6.
Punchout, or punchout and reset, of individual accumula-
tors are under program control, and may be done
selec-
tively.
An
accumulator can be programmed
to
punch out
into any field or fields, if desired. Only one accumulator
can punch
at
a time in any field. Group totals are normally
punched
out
via
a different program level than the
accumulating program level. Maximum punchout field size
is
19 positions. Credit totals are punched with an II-punch
over the units position.
In verify mode, a field programmed for auto skip and
accumulate
(II-punch and 5-or 6-or 7-punch) will
automatically accumulate from the card.
Minimum field size
is
two positions. Accumulate and self
check cannot be programmed in the same field.
All
accumulators are reset
to
0 when machine power
is
turned
off. (Not recommended for field installation.)
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATE PROGRAM
LEVELS
The accumulate feature is active only in program levels 1
and 2. The additional program levels feature provides the
ability
to
program accumulate functions in program levels
3-4-5-6.
Accumulate is a prerequisite for "Additional Accumulate
Program Levels." Additional levels may be field installed.
Special Features Summary
29
SELF-CHECKING NUMBER DEVICE
(MODULUS
10
OR
MODULUS
11)-Requires
Expansion
Feature
as Prerequisite
A self-checking number consists
of
two
parts: basic
identifying number and its check digit. The check digit,
derived from basic identifying number by a calculating
technique, is always
the
units digit
of
the self-checking
number. This feature assures
that
all digits
of
a number,
such as
an
account
or
a part number, have been correctly
keyed. Fields containing self-checking numbers can be any
size up
to
79 columns, including the check digit. More than
one self-check field can be checked per card,
and
the fields
may be adjacent.
An 11-punch is punched
in
column
81
of
the card
to
signify a valid self-checking number.
Modulus
10
Modulus
10
is designed
to
detect
the
incorrect keying
of
a
single digit or a single transposition.
It
uses weighting
factors 1, 2,
1,
2, which are automatically entered and
calculated under machine control.
Modulus
11
Modulus 11 is designed
to
detect the incorrect keying
of
a
single digit, a single transposition, and a double transposition.
It
uses weighting factors
of
7,
6,5,
4, 3, 2, which are
automatically entered
and
calculated under machine
control.
129 Card Data Recorder/Machine Description
30
Operation
The self-check field is programmed with a 2-punch in
both
the high- and low-order field positions in addition
to
normal field definition. No other program codes are
needed. Self-checking device operates in all six program
levels.
Checking
can
be
done
in
verify mode
by
manual
keying or
it
can
be
done automatically
if
the cards were
punched on a machine without the self-checking device.
Program the field for auto skip and self check (11-punch
and 2-punch), and
the
self-check calculation will occur
automatically.
Error procedures allow
the
operator
to
rekey a field
if
the
self-check number does
not
check, or
to
overpunch the
field
to
indicate an invalid number,
or
to
skip
the
field and
leave it blank.
On Model 2 machines, a "SELF CHECK"
indicator light
is
provided for error indication. On Model 1
and 3 machines, dual use
is
made
of
the VERIFY light for
both verify and
self-cJ..eck
error indication.
The high-order portion
of
a self-check field may be
automatically duplicated, and the remainder
of
the field
may be automatically skipped.
Self-checking numbers
of
Modulus 10 are
not
compatible
with those
of
Modulus 11. Self-check number generation,
self-check punch elimination, and left-based numbers are
not
available for Modulus 10
or
11. Self check cannot be
programmed in the same field as left zero (LZ), nor in the
same field as accumUlate. (Not recommended for field
installation. )
DIRECT PUNCH CONTROL
The direct punch control feature
is
available only on
machines having serial number 2xxxx and higher.
On Model 1 and 3 machines, the PUNCH/VERIFY switch
is
expanded
to
a three-position switch with center position
being
"DIRECT PUNCH" position. On Model 2 machines, a
switch
is
added
to
allow selection
of
punch
or
direct punch
operation. When machine
is
in direct punch mode, each
keystroke
is
punched directly into
the
card, and keying and
card motion are synchronized.
All
program levels and
functions are active in direct punch mode, except left zero
and record backspace.
Direct punch
is
useful for source document punching
jobs, where card design requires card motion similar
to
the
29 for full visibility during punching; it is also used for 29
simulation by untrained users and for card makeover
or
corrections, etc.
Operation
By
program card control, individual fields may be keyed in
a
"buffered" mode, while balance
of
card
is
keyed in direct
punch mode. A 3-punch in first column
of
a field in direct
punch mode causes
that
field
to
be "buffered" and left zero
may therefore be used, and character backspace may be
used for error
correction.lIowever, a backspace beyond the
last column punched in the card
is
not
possible. Adjacent
fields may be programmed for
"buffer"
operation.
Punching
of
the"buffered" field occurs when next direct
punch column
is
punched.
Fields programmed for accumulate
or
self check will be
automatically
"buffered" in direct punch mode, regardless
of
programming. Production statistics counters count
normally when direct punch
is
used. When column 35
is
to
be
punched, columns 1-28 may be seen
on
left side
of
punch/read station,
or
columns 43-80 may be seen
on
right
side
of
station, depending on operator position
at
key-
board.
The CLEAR switch
is
not
operative for a card in direct
punch mode. Do
not
perform program load, data read,
program punchout,
or
production statistics punchout procedures in direct punch mode. This feature operates only in
punch mode; it may be field installed.
Special Features Summary
31
VERIFY
READ CONTROL
The verify read control feature
is
available only on Model 1
and 3 machines having serial number 2xxxx or higher.
It
is
not
available on Model 2 machines.
This feature facilitates operator reading
of
source docu-
ment cards during verification, and allows verification
of
a
source document similar
to
the
IBM
59 procedure, without
the need for card format redesign.
Operation
This feature operates only under program control. An 11-0
punch in the program card, in any desired column, will stop
the machine from reading a card in verify mode, on the
column in which the
11-0
is
coded, before
that
column has
been read for verification. (The column indicator shows the
next column
to
be verified, regardless
of
the card position
in the bed.)
If
the card
is
stopped on column 35, by an 11-0 punch in
column 35
of
the program card, then columns 1-28 may be
seen on the left side
of
the punch/read station,
or
columns
43-80 may be seen on the right side
of
the station,
depending
on
operator position at keyboard. When column
prior
to
the 11-0 code has been verified (column 34 in this
case), reading again starts until the next
11-0
is
read in the
program.
129 Card Data Recorder/Machine Description
32
All
functions and operations remain the same when verify
read control feature
is
used. Accumulate, self-check, and
production statistics operate normally. The CLEAR switch
is
not
operative until column 80 has been read for any card
in which verify read control
is
used. [Note: Do
not
use 11-0
in column 1, nor in any column in which auto skip (11) or
auto ver-dup
(0)
is
programmed, nor in any self-check
programmed field.] This feature operates only
in
verify
mode; it may be field installed.
EXTENDED READING BOARD
The working area
of
the reading board may
be
increased by
adding an extension measuring
11-1/2" x
12",
to
the
front
edge, left side
of
the standard reading board. This may be
field installed.
EXPANSION FEATURE
The expansion feature does
not
provide a function
by
itself,
but
it
is
necessary
to
provide additional capacity in the
machine
to
allow the installation
of
accumulate
or
self
check.
Only one feature
is
needed, whether accumulate or
self check
or
both are installed. (Not recommended for
field installation.)
