RE: IBM Maintenance Withdrawal

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, a little while after the 056 !
Hey, they had an 056 keypuncher at my first part time operators job in
1972 - along with 029's, those paper-tape controller remote card punch
comm thingies that were around 110bps, hardwired collators (085 ?),
reproducing punches, card interpreters, and an 80 column card sorter
that had vacuum tubes !!!!
