IBM 1442 was an IBM card reader and card punch. It was used on the IBM 1440, the IBM 1130, the IBM 1800 and System/360. The 1442 could read up to 400 punch cards per minute. Cards were read and punched one column at a time and binary cards were permitted. It was even possible to create "IBM Doilies," cards with every possible hole punched. Few other pieces of IBM equipment could do this without sustaining damage.
