Technikum29: A museum full of Univac, Bull, IBM, ... computer methusalems...

Interesting. Thanks for posting. I'm occasionally in the Frankfurt area. Will try to find time for that museum somewhen in the future.

The first bank I worked for have Olivetti 101s on each loan officers desk. The were used to calculate payments on installment loans. Pretty interesting machines at the time.

Nice--and having worked on them in the past, the two machines identified as keypunch machines are definitely that. The nice thing about the old keypunch machines is that you could put a program card into them that would automatically punch the characters that were standard to the entire set and step to the next space that required user input. I used (and repaired) the IBM keypunches for several years at my first job.
 
I have put the question mark because I was not sure if I found the correct word for that kind of machine in english. Now I see that I took the correct word.
