In Chrome and Firefox (maybe others), you can translate the page to English.

I saw an IBM 129 keypunch pic there - I used an 026 & 029 myself - the later
129 allowed you to edit the card before ejecting - never saw one before.

I see they had Univacs there (I played with their military stuff - 1219, 1530,
AN/UYK-7) but we used mostly IBMs and minis from various vendors like Masscomp,
Modcomp, Sun & DEC (PDP-11, LSI-11).

you can share your memories with Alberto Rubinelli, at
http://www.museodelcomputer.org/ :)

I met him several years ago (2005) when I donated a Siemens Nixdorf
Quattro/40 system
