Sorry its "again" - I'll help! And I'll see to it we begin demonstrating it regularly. We think we will need more blank cards and are considering finding some. On 10/16/2022 6:20 PM, Mike Loewen via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Jeff,
Can you fill us in on what the long-term plan is for the 1130?
* Would it be placed directly in the new museum space, or back in it's original location in 9010 A?
Back in the original 9010-A location.
* Is the plan to stay historically correct right down to theRussell - Stoll 3743 three-phase power connectors?
The goal is to be functional enough to demonstrate the machine for the general public in a way that shows the flow of operation from punching cards to putting into the sorter and reading into the computer itself. Wherever practical we will keep it as accurate as possible.
I guess that means I'll have to overhaul the 029 keypunch again.
