+        Beginning in 1949 IBM built two versions of this card punch: The IBM 024
+which could just punch cards and the IBM 026 which could additionally print
+the data being punched on the top of the card in human-readable form, so the
+IBM 026 was actually a printing card punch. The printer is of ingenious
+design: A very compact wire printer only a couple of cubic inches in size,
+which is driven by the punch mechanism.<br>
+This is a typical example for the art of engineering that was common at IBM
+at that time: Developing simple, yet powerful solutions. Due to this
+approach, IBM filed (and still does) a vast amount of patent applications. 
+The control system of the card punch only contains 10 relays featuring a lot
+of contact sets and 9 vacuum tubes.<br>
+This card punch was so successful that it was built unmodified for 20 years
+and was sold world wide - an exceptional record in an area like electronic
+data processing.</p>
