I actually used the 046 non-printing version back in the day to convert PPT
to 80 col. cards, although I didn't deal with the tape it produced; cool
machine.

I got into unit record stuff in the mid to late 1960s.
But, my interests were a little esoteric, and I never really le

I don't think that I ever saw one of those.
Was it IBM?
When was it available?

The 447? stand-alone interpreter did reasonably high speed interpret/print

I do, indeed.
Thank you
That was a unit-record machine that I didn't use much.
For my father's work, I mostly did keypunch, verify, count

Sellam
Another minor detail about column alignment:
There was a variant of the 029 punch (I don't remember the specific model)
that could interpret/print on already punched cards. It printed 80 column
aligned characters. With a drum card, it could be set to skip some and
only do the desired ones.
Card 157 is from 1949. Don’t think the 1404 existed then. 😊
Was not aware of the 1404 before. Thanks.
the 1404 printer could read a selected number of columns and print anywhere (or
everywhere) on their face, with a switchable chain link with different fonts.
I am pretty confident that is how you got non-dot matrix printing on a card.

Not sure what created that card.
Card 152 appears to be a 557 interpreted card using data from another card.
Card 5507 has dot matrix printing on lower rows.
Neither card came from a pin feed form that could be printed on a line printer.
