Vintage 1977 IBM System/360 Punch Card Program Archive SimSci SSI RPG Mainframe:
$449.99

Large original vintage IBM/mainframe punched-card collection preserved together in its original box and sequence.


This is NOT simply a box of blank or miscellaneous punch cards. The collection contains actual punched program, job-control, engineering-data and specification cards from multiple mainframe computing applications.


Highlights identified within the collection include:


• Dated December 13, 1977 SSI/SimSci engineering material

• Cards marked USER=SSI STAFF

• Methanol-Water VLE thermodynamic regression/testing

• Van Laar and NRTL activity-coefficient models

• Vacuum Unit process-simulation cases

• IBM mainframe JCL / EXEC / DD job-control cards

• Program executions including CTTB3170, CTTC3170 and related programs

• Original numerical engineering datasets

• IBM System/360 Report Program Generator (RPG) cards

• RPG Input Specifications

• RPG Output-Format Specifications

• Card Reader / Card Punch Exerciser material

• Numerous colored and organized card sections

• Original storage box


One particularly descriptive 1977 section reads:


TITLE PROB=METHANOL-WATER, PROJ=TESTING, USER=SSI STAFF, DATE=DEC13-77


Another states:


DESC CALCULATE METHANOL WATER VANLAAR COEFFICIENTS


Other cards contain process-simulation cases, VLE/regression commands, experimental numerical data, IBM JCL and System/360 RPG programming material.


A fascinating surviving archive from the punched-card/mainframe era with strong appeal to vintage-computer collectors, computing historians, IBM collectors, software historians and chemical/process-engineering history collectors.


Cards show normal age/storage wear. Collection is being sold intact and has intentionally NOT been reorganized so the existing card order and sections can be preserved.
