MACI-tINI:

FUNCTIONAL

PRINCIPLES

THE THREE machines necessary

perform the basic

operations required in punched card accounting are the

punch, the sorter, and the accounting machine. The

punch establishes the records, the sorter arranges or

classifies them, and the accounting machine produces

the printed reports.

punched card accounting systems, thousands of

cards may

taJSk

of preparing

final reports.

most

cases,

these cards must

classi-

fied

properly prior to the preparation of each report on

accounting machines. Classification of such a large

number of cards manually would present an immense

task which would consume many man hours of work

and would

greatly subjected to human errors.

The Type 82 Card Sorting Machine affords a speedy

and accurate method of arranging cards into any desired

sequence. The operation of the Type 82 Sorter

entirely automatic, except for the removal and replen-

ishing of cards in the machine.

Sorting cards on the Type 82 machine consists of

running the cards through the machine once for each

column in the field being classified. This

comparable

to scanning a series of printed figures with the human

eye, except here an electric sensing brush becomes the

eye.

This brush can sort on only one column at a time.

However, it

tion the brush to sort on

anyone

of the 80 column

positions on the IBM card. The machine

with

pockets for dispersal of cards; one pocket for

each digit value 0 through

and one reject pocket

for cards unpunched in the column being sorted.

means of feed knives, cards are

fed

one at a time

from the bottom of the pack in the card magazine on

the right end of the machine (Figure

After leaving

the card magazine, they are gripped between sets of

constantly revolving feed rolls and are fed from the

PRINCIPLE

SORTING

Numerical Sorting

Sorting multiple digit fields when only one column

may

sorted

a time is illustrated in Figure

group of cards, punched

through 23 in a two digit

field, are arranged in miscellaneous order and placed

in the card magazine of the sorter.

The

units position

sorted first by positioning the card brush

that

column and running the cards through the machine.

All cards punched with a 1 in the units column will fall

into the 1 pocket, all cards punched with a 2 in the

units column will fall into the 2 pocket, etc.

When

all the cards have been run through the

machine for sorting on the units position, the card

brush

shifted to the tens column position and the

cards removed from the pockets. To remove cards from

the pockets in proper sequence, the

l's

are removed

first and placed

face

down in the card magazine, the

2's are removed next and placed face down on the

l's, the 3's

face

down on the 2's, etc. This

common

practice but cards may be removed in descending order

starting with the 9's and keeping the cards face up

in the palm of the hand instead of face down. The

important item during removal

to keep the cards

in sequence.

After all cards have been removed from the pockets

and replaced in the card magazine, and the card brush

has been located on the tens column position, the

machine

restarted and sorting of the tens position

takes place. Those cards punched with a 1 in the tens

position fall into the 1 pocket, the 2's into the 2 pocket,

etc.

removing the cards from the pockets in ascend-

ing order

was

done on the first sort,

(l's

ahead of

the 2's) the original group of miscellaneous cards will

found to be in numerical sequence froni

to 23.

The sorting process could be illustrated further

the

use

of a larger field, but from the foregoing example

it will

observed that, upon completion of the second

sort, all cards will appear in groups arranged in correct

numerical sequence.

The procedure for sorting cards to arrange them in

proper sequence according to major and minor classi-

fications follows the same general principle.

the above

mentioned two-digit numbers were subclassifications and

another one-column field were a major classification,

the next sort for major classification would bring these

groups together, and the subclassifications would be

in order within each group

illustrated in Figure 3.

A general rule to be kept in mind

that the sorts

for the minor

subclassifications are made first and

the

SOrts

for the major classifications are made last.

Alphabetic Sorting

Sorting cards containing alphabetic information into

alphabetic sequence necessitates the double sorting of

each column, since each letter

recorded by two holes

in a single column, one of which

12,

or 0 and

the other a digit from 1 to

tions of a given column.

contact bars (one for each

vertical position in the card) and an alphabetic zone

bar are mounted. The contact bars on the commutator

are accessible through the large hole

the switch plate.

When

all of the commutator contact bars are toward

the outside of the commutator, all holes punched in

the card column being sorted are sensed and cause the

card to sort to its proper pocket. However,

the 4 and

ocontact bars, for example, were moved to the center

of the commutator, sorting of 4's and

O's

would be

suspended. Any 4 or 0 punching in the card column

being sorted would not be sensed and the card would

feed

to the reject pocket just

though it were un-

punched. Sorting of all other digits would be normal.

for all punching except 0,

and 12.

That

is,

those

cards that have no 0,

punching in the column

being sorted, will be fed to the reject pocket

though

they were unpunched.

Declutching Hand Wheel

A declutching hand wheel

provided for turning

the machine over

hand to check adjustments and

timings. This hand wheel

located on the right end

of the machine and, when rotated in a clockwise direc-

tion, causes the main drive shaft and its gears to revolve.

The handwheel must be pressed

the left while

being revolved before the main worm shaft will

rotate.

When

the machine

operating under power,

the handwheel

automatically declutched to keep

it from revolving and presenting a hazard.

Card Runout

When

the card magazine becomes empty while the

machine

in operation, a runout feature incorporated

in the machine keeps the drive motor running for a

long enough period of time to allow all cards to feed

their proper pockets.

older sorting machines

this

runout feature was not present, making it necessary in

many cases to depress the start

key

long enough to feed

the last

few

cards into their proper pockets.

Pocket Stop Device

Each pocket of the sorter

equipped with an auto-

matic pocket stop. This

a safety device which auto-

matically shuts

off

the current and stops the machine

when

anyone

of the thirteen pockets becomes filled to

capacity with cards. Each pocket has a capacity of

approximately 550 cards. Once the machine has been

stopped

the activation

the pocket stop device, it

can not be restarted

means of the start key until

the full pocket or pockets have been emptied.

Machine Operation

The main line switch should be turned on first to

allow time for the tubes to heat up while other prepara-

tions for starting are

being

completed.
