Vanishing Culture: Punch Card Knitting via The Internet Archive [Shared]

Punch cards are a fascinating binary data storage format that aren’t just history—they’re still used by knitting machines today! Thanks to the Internet Archive and other collections, we still have access to historic punch cards, but there are some technical challenges to using them in the format they’re stored in. Meet a few folx working on those challenges.

The image shows a patterned grid labeled "CARD 1." The grid is composed of numerous small squares, each containing either a black dot or being left blank. The pattern is predominantly diagonal, with clusters of black dots forming a zigzag design. The black dots are outlined in red, making the pattern more distinct. The grid is numbered from 1 to 60 on the right side, with numbers increasing from top to bottom. The pattern appears to be symmetrical along the vertical axis, with the design elements mirrored on either side. The overall layout is organized and structured, with the black dots creating a visually striking contrast against the white background.
