Representation of the Standard ECMA 7-Bit Code in Punched Cards.

The article offers information on the ECMA standard in representation of the Standard ECMA 7-Bit Code in Punched Cards. The relative advantages and disadvantages of employing a decimal or binary code representation are also discussed. Most of the binary coded decimal punched cards are incompatible with the standards of the ECMA 6 and 7-Bit codes in punched cards. On the other hand, decimal system representation was found to be in consonance with the desired results and closer to the minimum ECMA standards for punched cards. The structure of both the systems and its application have been discussed as well as graphically represented.
