Ahh - this always reminds me that the 129 was always better than the 029 ;)

(For the young'uns here <g>: The IBM 129 Keypunch machine had advances over
the older 029, which included a "program card" to autonumber, duplicate
fields, etc.)

Also, for those who dropped their cards, there was the 086 Collator, if you
remembered how to wire the board ;)
