Tristan Davey has catalogued 255 punch cards across five formats and 55 printers, alongside 11 pieces of period hardware and 18 manuals, spanning the 1930s through the 1980s. The delight is visual: every manufacturer devised its own grid, corner cut and ink colour for what is functionally the same object, so the collection reads like a type specimen book for a vocabulary of rectangular holes.
