IBM 519

The IBM 519 Document-Originating Machine, introduced in 1946, was the last in a series of unit record machines designed for automated preparation of punched cards. It could

reproduce all or parts of the information on a set of cards

"gangpunch" - copy information from a master card into the following detail cards

print up to eight digits on the end of a card

compare two decks of cards

summary punch information provided by a connected accounting machine

“mark sense.” - marks made with an electrographic pencil in designated locations on a punched card are sensed and then holes corresponding to those marks punched into the card

number cards consecutively (an optional feature)

It operated at 100 cards per minute. Operations of the 519 were directed by a removable control panel.

The reproducing, gangpunching, summary punching, and comparing features of the IBM 519 are very similar to those of the IBM 513 and IBM 514.
