Standard hole size and spacing is required for all
code and feed-hole punching in both tape and docu-
ments. The length of continuously-fed fanfold docu-
ments must be evenly divisible by .100 inch for proper
registration. The first feed hole must be .050 inch from
the leading edge of the document. Documents greater
than 8 inches long cannot be punched within .6 inch of
the leading and/ or trailing edges (leading edge of first
I
and trailing edge of last with ·continuously-fed fanfold
documents). The direction of feed for all documents
must be identified by printing, corner cut (on corner
away from punching), or some other identification.
Tape Splicing
The general rules to follow when splicing tape are:
I. All splicing should be done in non-data portions of
the tape whenever possible.
2. Either a butt-joint or lap-joint type splice is accept-
able. However, the thickness at the splice must not
exceed .010". Any splicing material used for a butt-
joint splice must be flexible and should be attached
to the top of the tape.
3. Width of the splice must not exceed the width of the
tape.
4. No staples or other types of fasteners can be used
for splicing. Also, any excess glue on the surface of
the tape must be completely removed.
5. When lapping punched tape columns, more than
one punched column should be lapped.
1050 Planning
and
Operator
Instruction Charts
Two charts are provided in pad form to assist in both
planning and performing an application on the
IBl\I
1050 Data Communications System:
1. Application Planning Chart, and the
2. Operator Instruction Sheet.
Application Planning Chart (Form X24-3124)
This chart is designed to permit complete permanent-
type documentation of an application (Figures 37 and
38). When completed, this chart (or charts, if neces-
sary) should become part of the user's application ref-
erence file. Thus, a total record of an application is eas-
ily accessible within the installation at all times. The
specific areas provided on this chart are:
1. 1052 Switch Panel
2. Margins and Tab Stops
3. Setup Instructions
4. Operating Instructions
5. Programming (reverse side).
1052 Switch Panel: The position of each switch on
this panel should be indicated for the specific appli-
cation. If it is necessary to change a switch position
indicate this in the operating instructions area. Sev-
eral switches have two names assigned to the lower
position of the switch. The actual assigned name de-
pends on the model of control unit (1051) used with
the system.
Margins and Tab Stops: This area is scaled to actual
size. Therefore, for accurate positioning it is only
necessary to place the printed form just below this
area and mark the exact margins and tap stops
desired.
Setup Instructions: Each unit has a specific area where
details pertaining to job setup can be listed. This
area should include such information as:
1. Type of forms,
2. Master tape name,
3. Cards to use,
4. Keyboard shift status, etc.
Operating Instructions: This area should be used to
provide the operator with a step-by-step procedure
for the job. If necessary, additional sheets can be
used to expand this area. This documentation should
remain as a part of the application planning chart
to provide for permanent documentation.
Programming Chart: This area occupies the entire
back of the pad and provides for both input and
output. A detailed description of the entire program
should be developed in this area. The entire program
(input and output) can be written, on a column-by-
column basis with additional sheets used when
needed. Several of the areas are multiple-purpose
areas (example, 1057 /1058 program and output
cards) and can be assigned as desired.
Operator Instruction Sheet (Form X24-3139)
This sheet (Figure 39) is designed to provide informa-
tion which will assist the operator in processing a
specific job. This sheet, when completed, should be-
come a part of each operator's operating procedures
notebook (located with the system). The information
contained on this sheet is a duplicate of the informa-
tion contained on the front of the Application Planning
Chart. However, if this sheet(s) is lost or damaged, it
can be replaced by obtaining the necessary information
from the planning chart located in the permanent doc-
ument file (see Application Planning Chart).
