Jackson Granholm, 1962 [Datamation] And now for an example. The otherwise elegant B5500 [oh, what a fun machine that was] could read cards in binary or Hollerith, but the punch couldn't punch binary cards. Rarely a problem, but if you wanted to punch a bootable card for some reason you had to do it by hand.
