    Hi Gang: This is a Loom, not a sewing machine. Punch card programming was an early automation of production equipment. Carl.

    A freind of mine had a MOOG paper-tape pneumatically-read point-to-point mill that he used for many years making zillions of parts.
    Now he has 3 CNC lathes and 2 CNC mills.

    Ha... the title had me asking myself, "Why would anyone want to sew punch cards together?"
