Tucked away under "Antiques & collectables > Clocks & scientific instruments"

Thought would post here before recommending to Computers/Vintage category for greater viewing.

Will copy & paste some auction info before it disappears too :
Antique, hand-operated computer card keypunch manufactured by British ICT (1960s). We can even include a few hundred computer cards.
Weighs 8 kg.

I used it to help produce a punch card key [A key to the identification of 92 species of Eucalyptus found in New Zealand] many years ago and can't remember who gave it to me. I had another one of a different make but that has gone into the archives.
