UK historians of computing -
The BBC have been in contact with the National Archive for the
History of Computing looking for a working punched-card sorter
of tabulator to film (Hollerith/BTM preferred, but Powers would be
fine). I don't know of any, although I do know of non-working machines
and the Archive has film of punched-card machines in use in
the 1920s.
Does anyone know of the location of any present-day working machines?
cheers,
Jon
