5081
My first job working in this industry was sorting and collating 101,000 5081s for year end processing. After sorting and collating the December then 4th quarter cards. I still have the ringing of that collator in my ears when I think of that. Around 1994 I worked at an IBM office that was formerly one of the plants where they were made in Dayton, New Jersey. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Bohnsack Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 3:55 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: DDR to standard labeled tapes You must be a kid if you don't know what 5081 cards are or am I the only one on the list who does?

Re: 5081
Oh, the memories... When I was an operator we used to break in new operators by having them place the punch chaff back in a well-used card so we can save money by re-using them -- the right color punched pieces with the right numbers into the right holes. After about 15 or 20 minutes of frustration we'd usually relent, telling the hapless soul that he had been had. Sometimes we'd try to convince a new operator that they could turn a used card over and punch into the opposite side. Well.. you COULD! In the same way that you don't need a parachute to skydive - only if you want to skydive more than once. :-) Mike Walter Robert Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU 06/09/2006 03:20 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: 5081 I remember them !

Re: 5081
I lost my last 5081 in 1980 - at the same time someone took my -0 360 reference card, yellow instead of green, from my desk. Both probably were lost to the same person. We were not issued desk keys, so I couldn't have kept them in a locked drawer. I probably should have invested in a strong box. My first job in the industry was programming a 7080, using Autocoder. Big machine - BCD character set, 160K characters of memory, 16 registers, 28 tape drives, console keyboard, card reader and printer, no disks. There were 10 1401s in a downstairs room. Their job was to create tapes from card decks to feed the 7080 and take 7080 output tapes and either print reports or punch the data.
