The card path and data How for the IBM 1442 Card
Read-Punch (Figure 31) is shown in Figure 32. The
cards are placed in the 1,200-card capacity hopper face
down, 9-edge first. The first card cycle moves the card
from the hopper to the read station where it is regis-
tered at column zero. During the second card feed Punch Station Read Station

cycle, the card is fed to the reading station by a READ
CARD instruction. This operation causes each card col-
umn to be read twice as the card moves by the reading
station column-by-column.
Optional Stacker
During read cycle 1, the punched-card code for a
(Standard on Model 2)
column is translated to BCD code and stored in core-
storage positions specified by the B-address of the
Figure 32. IBM 1442 Card Read-Punch Data Flow
READ CARD instruction. On read cycle 2, the punched-
card code for the same column is read a second time.
The resultant BCD-coded character from the second into storage from the first read cycle. If no error is de-
reading is compared to the BCD-coded character read tected, the process continues for each column until a
group-mark with a word-mark is detected at the end of
the B-field.
After the read operation is completed, the card is
registered in column 1 at the punch station.
During the third card-feed cycle, which is started by
a PUNCH AND FEED instruction, the BCD-coded charac-
ters to be punched are read from core storage, trans-
lated to punched-card code, and punched column-by-
column into the card at the punch station.
A second core-storage readout cycle occurs that com-
pares the BCD characters in storage to the BCD trans-
lation of the punched-card code punched in the card.
If no error is detected, this operation continues for the
length of the B-field in storage identified by a group-
mark with a word-mark.
When the card leaves the punch station, it is car-
ried to the stacker by a continuously-moving mecha-
nism.

Card Read-Punch Instruction Format
All card read-punch operations are initiated by a card

c read-punch instruction. This instruction can initiate
different card read-punch operations by using specific
characters in certain locations of the actual instruction
