Speaking of IBM timeclocks, look at this baby in the IBM museum in
Singelfinded, Germany:

If you ever get out to the southern region of Germany (Singelfinden is two
hours northwest of Munich) I highly recommend you take the time to visit
the IBM Museum there. Hundreds of IBM machines going back to the
Hollerith census tabulating machine (well, a replica at least), ALL
WORKING!!
