PREFERRED TERM
Punched card  
DEFINITION
  • It refers to a cardboard table in rectangular shape that contains information in the form of perforations according to a binary code. They are the antecedent of computers by the way of coding the design of the fabric through the binary code. Perforated cards were first used around 1725 by Basile Bouchon and Jean-Baptiste Falcon to control textile looms in France. This technique was greatly improved by Joseph Marie Jacquard on his Jacquard loom in 1804.
