H-8239 Card Reader/Punch

H8239
Description

The H-8239 used the vertical feed method. It could send a signal to the electronic computer immediately after reading each character, and could also receive signals from the electronic computer and punch holes one character at a time. This eliminated the memory and translation units needed when using conventional horizontal feed.
