IBM Internal Use Only
Optional Accessory — IBM 1057/1058 Card Punch
This section briefly describes the 1057/1058 Card Punch;
for further details see IBM 1050 Data Communication
System, Principles of Operation, GA24-3474 and IBM 1050
Operator’s Guide, GA24-3125.
The IBM 1057/1058 (minimum EC level must be
206345) records the contents of the 16 counters in the
Basic Counter Unit on four punched cards that are used as
permanent records for future study and analysis.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
To start a punch operation on the 1057/1058, follow the
housekeeping procedures for the Basic Counter Unit and
the 1057/1058 and refer to the punch operation procedures
illustrated in Figure 27.

Position card in both read and punch station
Switch card punch from KEY to AUTO
PUNCH CARD FORMAT
The contents of four counters are punched on one card.
Because 16 counters are used in the Basic Counter Unit, a
total of four cards are required to record the contents of
the 16 counters (Figure 28). All cards are formatted in an
identical manner. (Only 64 columns are used on each card.)
Considering one card only, 16 columns are required to
reflect the contents of one counter. The punching format is
as follows:
not used and digit data is then punched in the next
11 columns. Formatting of the other three counters in the
same card is effected in the same manner.
PUNCH PROGRAM CARD
The program card used in the 1057/1058 Card Punch
permits the execution of particular control functions, such
as space advance, auto dup, end-of-card detect, etc. These
control functions are dependent on the punched format of
the program card. An example of a typical punched
program card is shown in Figure 29. A punch in a column
and row location is indicated by a rectangular bar, a
non-punched position is denoted by the absence of the bar.
The function of each punch position is:
Punch
Row 1
Row 2
Row 12
Column 64, Row 8
Column 65, Row 0
Columns 66-80, Row 12
Column 80, Row 8
Function
Allows alpha shift, which permits
Basic Counter Unit punch controls to
punch a blank, thus performing a
column space function.
Punch preceding zero’s in a counter
value. For example, if a counter value
is equal to 00000670019, the zero
values preceding the numeral 6 are
punched under control of the pro
gram card.
Determines field definition. A single
field, columns 2-64, required for
Basic Counter Unit operations.
Activates control line to indicate that
the next column operation is an
internal 1057/1058 function.
Initiates punching in auto dup mode.
Defines auto dup field to punch date,
job identity, etc., predetermined by
preceding card.
Control line to signify end of card.

POWER SUPPLY
Interface power is supplied to the 1057/1058 by the Basic
Counter Unit through a standard cable that connects both
units. The standard cable is furnished by the 1057/1058.
Power must be off in the Basic Counter Unit and the
1057/1058 prior to connecting or disconnecting the stan
dard cable.
