I am working with the Rowayton Historical Society in Rowayton
Connecticut, which is putting together artifacts for display concerning
what is generally considered the first commercially available business
computer - the Remington Rand 409 series (1951).

We are trying to locate a source to enable us to punch a few dozen cards
in Remington Rand format (90 column, round holes), and a source which
can print on the cards the data punched into the cards. Both manual and
powered punches were manufactured, but we have not been able to locate
anything, even in museums. Similarly, we have been unable to locate any
printer that could be used. This card format was used into the 60s, and
maybe survived into the 70s or later, so there certainly ought to be
something out there.

Thanks,

Andy Egendorf
