SECTION IV
TYPE 214-1 CARD PUNCH
The Type 214-1 punches standard 80-colurrm cards at a rate
which varies froITl 100 to 400 cards per ITlinute, depending upon
the last coluITln punched.
Successive pairs of characters frOITl the
ITlain ITleITlory punch-iITlage area are translated into card code by
the integrated card control and punched siITlultaneously in two con-
secutive card colurrms.
Beginning with the first two coluITlns,
successive pairs of coluITlns are punched until the last coluITln is
punched or until a record ITlark is sensed in the punch-iITlage area.
As shown in Figure 4-1, the basic cOITlponents of the Type
214-1 Card Punch are an input hopper, a wait station, a punching station, and an output stacker.
The input hopper has a capacity of 1,200 cards; the output stacker has a capacity of 1,300 cards.
Cards ITlay be loaded into the input hopper or reITloved froITl the output stacker during a punch
operation.
Selected cards or error cards ITlay be offset-stacked in the output stacker.
