Notes:
1. This document describes the Model 3 (punch-print-
verify) machine, which has a single combination punch/
read station. The Model 1 also has a combination
station. Initial Model 2 machines (punch-print) have a
separate punch
station and read station, similar to the
IBM 29 Card Punch. Model 2 machines with serial
numbers 2xxxx and higher will have a single combina-
tion punch/read station, the same as the Model 1 and 3
machines.
All operations are
the same on all Model 2 machines,
whether
they have the separate read and punch stations
or the combination punch/read station.
2. This document states.
that column indicator shows CC
when a correction card should be punched in verify
mode
on Models 1 and 3. (See "Column Indicator,"
"VER CORR (Verify Correction) Key," "Verify a
Card," and "Punch a Verify Correction Card.") This CC
indication will not be available on initial shipment
Modell and 3 machines; it will be provided on machines
with serial numbers
2xxxx and higher.
On initial Model 1 and 3 machines, without the CC
indication, column indicator will show 00 for the
preceding situation. All operations are the same for all
machines; only
the indication on the column indicator is
different.

Introduction
The IBM 129 Card Data Recorders are key-entry, card
punching and verifying machines with both data and
program storage used
to prepare standard 80-column cards
for data processing.
The
IBM 129 Card Data Recorders are available in three
models:
Model 1: Punch
Model 2: Punch
Model 3: Punch Print
Print
STANDARD FEATURES
Verify
Verify
• Two 80-position storage units plus program storage.
• Key data simultaneously with auto functions.
• Six program levels plus "no format" leveL
• Keyed input error correction and correction punching.
• Immediate error correction and correction punching
during verification (Models 1 and 3).
• Character, field, word, and record backspace_
• Automatic left-zero
or left-blank insertion.
• Program read-in and punchout.
129 Card Data Recorder/Machine Description 4
• Data read for duplicating and card makeover.
• A 48/64-character keyboard mode switch.
• A 29 type interlocked keyboard.
• Column indicator located on keyboard.
• A 64-character set for printing (Models 2 and 3).
• ASCII graphics available for keyboard and printing.
SPECIAL FEATURES
The following special features are described under "Special
Features Summary":
• Production Statistics.
• Accumulate.
• Additional Accumulate Program Levels.
• Self-checking Number Device (Modulus 10 or 11).
• Direct Punch Control.
• Verify Read Control.
• Extended Reading Board.
• Expansion Feature.

DATA STORAGE
The 129 Card Data Recorder contains input and output
sections of data storage. Each storage section can store 80
characters or columns of card information recorded in
electronic form. Data keyed for punching is
stored
(recorded) in input storage. The column indicator shows
the input storage position where the next character is to be
recorded.
If a character is keyed incorrectly, the machine
can be backspaced and the correct character can
be keyed.
Rekeying erases
the incorrect character in input storage and
records the corrected character. After a card data record is
complete in input storage, it is transferred to output storage
and
then punched in a card. While the card is being
punched from
output storage, the next card record can be
keyed into
input storage. (See Figure 1.)
For duplicating, data from the record in output storage is
transferred to input storage and becomes part of the input
record.
In a verify operation,
the punched card to be verified is
read into input storage, and the keyed data is compared
with the data read into input storage. Errors can be
corrected in input storage by a correction routine, and a
correction card can be punched immediately after comple-
tion
of each record verification. For verify duplicating, data
in
output storage is compared with data in input storage.

PUNCH/VERIFY Switch (Models 1 and 3)
When PUNCH/VERIFY switch is set to PUNCH, machine
operates as a punch. When PUNCH/VERIFY
is set to
VERIFY, machine operates as a verifier
.. This switch should
be set only when card bed
is clear and column indicator
shows 01.
~
; ~
ll1
Column Indicator
The column indicator shows the position of input storage
that will receive the next character. Column indicator
shows 00 when REC ADV/CARD FEED
is set to MANUAL
and input buffer is complete; shows 88 when a field or
record must be reverified in verify mode; shows
CC when
correction card should
be punched in verify mode; and
advances to 01
of next record when REC ADV /CARD
FEED is set to AUTO, or when at 00 and manual program
selection
is made.

AUTO SKIP/DUP Switch
When AUTO SKIP/DUP is ON, programmed auto skip/dup
fields operate automatically at electronic speeds. Auto
duplication
of blanks does not stop the function. When this
switch
is OFF, fields operate as manual fields. (Switch
should
be OFF for first record after clear operation, or if
data has not been keyed or read into
output storage.)
VERIFY Light
VERIFY light indicates verify error on verify models,
and/or self-check error,
if self-check feature is used.
REC ADV (Record Advance)/CARD FEED Switch
When REC ADVICARD FEED is set to:
1. AUTO, machine advances from column 80
of one input
record
to column 01 of next input record, sets program
level shown on PROGRAM
-MODE dial, stacks present
card, and feeds next card.
2. MANUAL, machine stops at column 00 of current
record. This allows manual program selection for next
record
or allows backspacing into present input record
for correction
of record before card is punched. Press
FEED key if card feed
is desired.
PROGRAM MODE (Rotary Dial) Switch
When PROGRAM MODE is set to:
1. 0-6, program level 0-6 is selected for next input record
(when column indicator advances from 00 to 01)
if REC
ADV/CARD FEED is set to AUTO.
2. DATA READ, master card data enters output storage
for duplication into following record.
3. PROG PCH, data from program storage is punched.
4. STAT PCH, totals for production statistics special
feature are punched.
PRINT SWitch (Models 2 and 3)
When PRINT is set to ON during keying into input storage,
characters
to be printed are the same as those punched in
card.
All leading O's are print suppressed, except for units
position
of a field. Only 64-characterset will print.
CHARACTER MODE Switch
When CHARACTER MODE is set to:
1. 64, the 64-character keyboard mode
is selected.
2_ 48, the 48-character keyboard mode is selected.
READ Pushbutton
When READ is pressed, program/data cards are read into
storage, in conjunction with PROGRAM
MODE dial.
CLEAR Switch (Momentary Spring Loaded)
When CLEAR is held ON, all cards move out of transport
into stacker and column indicator returns
to 01. Dup will
not operate in first record following a clear operation.
REC BKSP (Record Backspace) Pushbutton
When REC BKSP is pressed, column indicator returns to
column 01 of input storage without changing current
program level, and any auto operation (skip/dup) pro-
grammed for column 01 is suspended.

KEYBOARD
See Figure 4 for location of following keyboard controls.
FEED (Card Feed) Key
Punch Mode: Holding FEED key down moves two cards
from
hopper into register and pre-register positions of
punch station. Key is inoperative when a card is registered
at punch station.
Verify Mode: Feeds one card from hopper. The card is read
at punch/read station. Cards to be verified must be fed
from hopper; they cannot
be inserted manually.
REG (Register) Key
If a card is pre-registered or manually inserted, REG key
registers the card
at punch/read station. Pressing this key
will not feed a card from hopper.
SKIP Key
Punch Mode: SKIP key initiates a skip to end of field
definition.
If no field definition or program is in level 0,
this key provides a single space.
Verify Mode: Column in which SKIP key is pressed is
verified to be blank, and a skip without following verifica-
tion to
end of that field is initiated. If column is punched, a
verify error
is signaled. In a programmed LZ (left-zero)
verify field, SKIP key is operative
only as the first
keystroke.
REL (Release) Key
Punch Mode: REL key moves column indicator through
column 80,
and space codes are written in input storage.
The column indicator advances
to column 00 if REC
ADV/CARD FEED
is set to MANUAL, or advances to
column 01 of next record if REC ADV/CARD FEED is set
to AUTO. Fields programmed for auto dup beyond point
of release are duplicated if AUTO SKIP/DUP is ON.
Verify Mode: With REC ADV/CARD FEED set to AUTO,
pressing REL key causes card to be released without
verification and without OK punches in column 81, card
is
stacked, and next card is fed. With REC ADV/CARD FEED
set
to MANUAL, pressing REL key moves column indicator
to column 00 to await operator action. (Use manual
program selection and
then FEED key, or set REC
ADV/CARD FEED to AUTO,
or use CLEAR switch to
continue verify operation.) Fields programmed for auto
verify beyond point of release are verified if AUTO
SKIP/DUP switch
is ON. Once released, a card cannot be
OK-punched in column 81 (2-3 punch) unless again fed
from the hopper and reverified.
Keyboard Controls 11

Data Keys (Alpha, Numeric, Special
Character, Space)
Depression of one of data keys enters a character into input
storage for punching,
or compares it with input storage for
verifying. Alpha
or numeric shift is determined by program
or manual control: [The -LZ key has a special use for
left-zero fields; see "BLANK COLUMNS/LEFT ZERO
CTRL (Control) Key."] The special characters in the
outlined area (Figure 4) are active only in 64-character
mode. Note: The dash
(-) II-punch is available only in
alpha shift.
PROG SEL (Program Select) Key
Pressing PROG SEL key followed by a data key (0-6) shifts
machine
to program level selected. (Keyboard locks if other
than 0-6
is selected.) _Program level selection can be made
any number
of times during the keying of a record. On
advancing to next record, program returns to level indi-
cated by
the setting of PROGRAM MODE dial, if REC
ADV/CARD FEED
is set to AUTO.
If REC ADV/CARD FEED is set to MANUAL (column
indicator at 00), depression of PROG SEL key followed by
a data key (0-6) selects
that level for next input record,
punches and ejects present card (does
not feed a card), and
advances column indicator to column 01 of next record, or
to first manual column if an auto field is programmed at
start of record and AUTO SKIP/DUP switch is ON. Press
FEED key if card feed is desired.
129 Card Data Recorder/Machine Description
12
ALPHA (Alphabetic Shift) Key
Pressing ALPHA key shifts keyboard into alpha mode, as
long as key is held down. When this key is released,
machine returns
to shift indicated by program.
NUMERIC (Numeric Shift) Key
Pressing NUMERIC key shifts keyboard into numeric mode,
as long
as key is held down. The numeric shift key must be
held down when operating in program level 0 and numeric
keying is required.
It is used to override alpha programming
when under program control. If
both NUMERIC and
ALPHA shift keys are pressed, numeric shift takes prece-
dence.
CHAR BKSP (Character Backspace) Key
Each depression of CHAR BKSP key causes one manual
column
of backspacing, or unlocks keyboard (without a
character backspace operation)
if keyboard was locked due
to an invalid key depression. When used after an error in
verify mode, before rewrite, it resets the error condition
and allows additional verify attempts
of character in
question. When used after rewrite, it allows reverification of
rewritten character. Note: Character backspace will
not
reset a program select condition after PROG SEL key has
been pressed. Either complete
the selection or use FIELD
BKSP key to reset program select condition.

FIELD/WORD BKSP (Field/Word Backspace) Key
A depression of FIELD BKSP key returns column indicator
to first column of field being keyed. If in first column of a
field, pressing this key returns column indicator
to start of
previous manual field.
The FIELD BKSP key operates as a word backspace key
when used in conjunction with
the ALPHA shift key.
Pressing ALPHA shift key and FIELD BKSP key returns
column indicator to column following last space
that was
spacebar entered,
or to first column of a manual field,
whichever comes first. Any backspace key (character,
field/word,
or record) may be used to unlock a locked
keyboard. Backspace does not change
the current program
level.
MULT PCH (Multiple Punch) Key
Pressing MULT PCH key places keyboard in numeric shift
and prevents column indicator from advancing while
ihdividual codes are keyed.
If multiple'. punch special
character
is not one of standard 64 characters, printing is
suppressed ..
VER/DUP (Verify or Duplicate) Key
VER/DUP key is'used to duplicate or verify a column or
field
of data from previous record in output storage. This
key is inoperative unless data has been keyed or read into
output storage. Wheri this key is held down, it repeats the
function
at a rate of 10 fields/second in program levels 1-6,
or 10 columns/second in program level O.
Verify Mode: In a left-zero programmed field, it must be
the first key pressed in the field; this key is inactive in any
other position of the field.
BLANK COLUMNS/LEFT ZERO CTRL (Control)
Key
Punch Mode: Pressing LEFT ZERO CTRL key, after a
character
or characters for a field are keyed, starts a
left~zero (fill) operation if keyboard is in numeric shift or
starts a left-blank (fill) operation if keyboard
is in alpha
shift. This key
is not operative in first position of any field.
Use -LZ key for minus over units position and start LZ
fill operation combined. For filled field (all digits, no O's),
use "MULT P(jH (Multiple Punch) Key" procedure for
minus over units position. Maximum length
of a single LZ
field is 79 positions.
Verify Mode: In any field, pressing BLANK COLUMNS key
verifies blanks until a character
or end of a field is reached.
In units position of a programmed left-zero field~ this key
only performs left-zero control function. This key must be
pressed after verification
of units position of field; other-
wise, keyboard lockup occurs. Use -LZ key after units
position verification for minus over units position verify
and LZ control operation combined.
Keyboard Controls
13

VER CORR (Verify Correction) Key
Verify Mode Only: Pressing VER CaRR key in any field
allows a rewrite
of balance of field; pressing this key after a
record backspace operation allows rewrite
of the complete
record. The keyboard locks (column indicator shows 88)
and field
or record must be reverified.
At completion
of record verify operation, if any rewrite
correction has been made by use
of "VER RES (Verify
Reset) Key" procedure or
"VER CaRR (Verify Correc·
tion) Key" procedure, machine locks with column indicator
showing
CC. CC indicates that a correction card should be
punched. Manually insert a blank card in punch station and
press VER
CaRR key to punch out corrected card.
129 Card Data Recorder/Machine Description 14
VER RES (Verify Reset) Key
Verify Mode Only: Pressing VER RES key resets a verify
error condition and allows a second verify attempt. If verify
error
is signaled again, reset is performed and third
keystroke rewrites storage with the new character. After
rewrite, perform character backspace and reverify; other-
wise, machine will lock at end of field (column indicator
shows 88) and require field backspace and reverification.
(Character backspace may be used
to interrupt error
routine and allow additional verify attempts before
rewrite.)

Graphics and Card Codes
PROGRAM CARD CODES
A program card, which is a basic part of program control, is
prepared for each punching application. Proper punching in
this program card controls automatic operations for corre-
sponding columns of data cards being punched or verified.
Each row
in program card governs a specific function. (See
Figure 5.)

Notes for Figure 5:
1. Program codes apply in program levels 1-6. Program level 0
is 80 single-position fields, alpha shift.
2. If lZ control in units position verify is not desired, do not
use
3-punch in units position.
3. Only field definition is required for lZ punching. Program
cards coded for
lZ in veri fy mode (3-punches) may be used in
punch mode without
alteration because machine ignores 3-
codes in punch mode, unless direct punch control feature is
used (see chart).
4. Minimum field size is two columns for accumulate, self
check, and lZ.
5. Maximum field size is 79 columns for self check and lZ.
6. Maximum input field size for accumulate is 14 columns;
maximum punchout field size is 19 columns.
7. A field may be programmed to add into any or all accum-
ulators; punchout is limited to one accumulator per field.
8. Self-check fields may be adjacent. Self check and accumulate
operate in both punch and verify mode. However, self check
cannot be programmed in the same field as accumulate or left
9. Verify read control (11-0 code) must. not be programmed in
same column
as auto skip (11) or auto dup (O) codes, nor in
any self-check programmed field.
10. Programs remain in storage until another program is read ;n
to replace the original program, or until mainline switch is
turned
off, which resets programs 1-6 to blanks (equivalent
to 80 single-position fields, numeric shift).

Notes for Figure 7:
1. Dagger denotes 16 additional special characters that
are only in 64-character set.
2. ASCII graphics are the same as the 64-character set,
except:
12-8-2 is [
11-8-2 is]
0-8-2 is \
3. Squared alphabetic letter 0 is standard, to distinguish
it from numeric O.
4. The 11-0 combination (minus over 0) will not print.
The 11-1 through 11-9 (minus over digit) will print
letters J-R.
5. Space is a blank column in both alpha and numeric shift.
6. Dash (-) ll-punch is available only in olpha shift.

Operating Procedures
POWER ON
Setting the mainline switch to ON resets (erases) all stored
programs and data, and selects program level 0 regardless
of
PROGRAM MODE dial setting.
Program level 0 control is 80 single-position fields (alpha
shift). Program levels 1-6,
at this time, are controlled as 80
single-position fields (numeric shift). Program selection is
possible, although program levels 1-6 are identical, until
programs are read into program storage.
Punching and verifying can be done under program level 0
or 1-6 control. However, the first operation normally
performed, after power is turned on, is
to store the
programs desired in program levels 1-6.
New program cards may be punched before programs are
loaded by using
the "Punch a Card" procedure.
STORE A PROGRAM (Program Load)
The desired program cards must be read into program
storage
to allow program control to be active during
keying:
1. Operate CLEAR switch if card bed is not clear.
2. Set AUTO SKIP/DUP
to OFF.
129 Card Data Recorder/Machine Description
18
3. Set PROGRAM MODE to desired program level (1-6).
4. Insert program card at punch/read station (punch or
verify mode),
or feed card one cycle from the hopper to
the pre-register position (punch mode). Card must not
be registered.
5. Press READ pushbutton.
Repeat steps
3-5 for each program card to be stored. Each
program load operation reads program card data into
selected program storage level, stacks card in stacker, and
sets machine
to column 01 of that program level. Programs
remain in storage until a new program is read into that
program level
or until a power off/on operation resets
them.
Note: In punch mode, up to six program cards may be
placed in hopper, fed singly, and program loaded
by
repeating steps· 3-5. Then set PROGRAM MODE dial,
manually select desired program level, and set PUNCH/
VERIFY switch to PUNCH or VERIFY to start operation.

PUNCH OUT A PROGRAM
To check that a particular program has been stored at a
specified level, punch
out the program on a blank card:
1. Operate CLEAR switch
if card bed is not clear.
2. Set PUNCH/VERIFY switch
to PUNCH.
3. Set AUTO SKIP/DUP to OFF.
4. Set REC
ADV /CARD FEED to MANUAL.
5. Set PROGRAM MODE to PROG PCH.
6. Insert blank card at punch station, or feed blank card
from hopper.
7. Press REG (registers a card).
8. Press REL (sets column indicator
at 00).
9. Press PROG SEL followed by data key (1-6) for
program level desired.
Punchout follows and card is ejected.
If data key 0 is
pressed after PROG SEL, a blank card results. Repeat steps
6·9 for each program to be punched out.
All program cards are automatically printed (Models 2
and 3) during program punchout operation regardless
of
PRINT switch setting. Program punchout may be done at
any time. Machine is set to that program level at conclusion
of program punchout.
PUNCH A CARD
This procedure applies for punching data cards or for
punching program cards (before a program has been
loaded), using either program level 0
or program levels 1-6.
When programs have been read into storage, card
punching can begin under program format control:
1. Place blank cards in hopper.
2. Operate CLEAR switch if card bed is not clear.
3. Set PUNCH/VERIFY switch
to PUNCH.
4. Set AUTO SKIP/DUP to OFF.
5. Set REC
ADV /CARD FEED to AUTO.
6. Set PRINT to ON/OFF, as desired.
7. Set CHARACTER
MODE to 48/64, as desired.
8. Press FEED key (feeds two cards).
9. Set PROGRAM
MODE to desired program level (1-6 or
0). Manually select desired program level by pre$ing
PROG SEL followed by data key 1-6 or 0 (first record
only).
10. Key first card record manually. Duplicating is not
active and skipping
is under manual control for first
card. After first record lias been keyed:
11. Set AUTO SKIP/DUP
to ON.
On following records, programmed duplicating and
skipping are performed automatically, and program level
selection at start
of each record is automatic, under control
of PROGRAM MODE dial. Any field programmed for
manual entry may be manually keyed, duplicated from last
record,
or skipped by manual operation. If an error is made
in keying, a backspace-rewrite operation
is required.
