The. surface Of the population card
is divided by printed lines into what
is called fields" or divisions, contain
ing certain figures, authorizations of
words and combinations Of letters,
which are used as symbols to cores
pond with, or represent the details
or items Of data as reported on the
original schedule by the enumerator.
Taking the card as the representa-
tive of an individual, 1t then becomes
necessary to transfer to the card, all
the data on the schedule referring to
that individual. This Is done by
punching out the corresponding sym.
bols, leaving open holes at those
points.
The semi-automatic electrical punch
ing machine, which will be used, is
built on the plan Of a typewriter, with
keyboard very similar in appear
ance, but having 240 different keys.
The machine, in It's operation, differs
from a typewriter In q most important
respect. AS is well known, in operat-
ing the typewriter, every time q key
10 depressed, letter is printed and If
mistake is made, the letter must be
crossed out or corrected, with consid-
cradle loss of time and disfguring Of
copy. The new card punching ma.
chine obviates this as the operator,
instead Of punching one hole at a
time, can depress into position for
srfsequent punching as many keys
as are necessary to record the re-
quired facts. Each key is independ-
emit of all the others and can be re-
leased at will.
Before pressing a button, which
turns on the electric current for op-
Grating the punching mechanism, the
operator can look over the depressed
keys. comparing them with the sched.
uIe. and II q key has been erroneous
" placed, 1t can be released and the
error rectifled. The work Of correc-
ton is assisted by having different
colors for the keys for each field or
division of the card. It enables quick
or discovery of the key in error. In
the old style punching machine, a hole
was punched in a card every time the
plunger was depressed. If an error
in punching a symbol was made, the
card had to be taken out and thrown
away. AS the puncher's efficiency was
based largely upon the number of
cards punched in a day, It win be seen
that the old method laid the operator
open to the temptation to let the er-
ror stand.
With the old machine, skillful
clerk could average 5000 cards day.
Another time and money-saving fea-
ture Of the new machine is that the
feeding Of cards to the punching keys
Is entirely automatic. Alb the blank
cards are fed in from the rear Of the
machine, the punched cards are drop
ned into a magazine in front.

~ compilation Of the thir-
teenth census population

=. Dana d. ID.
The card Punching machines to be
used at the present census differ very
radically from those employed before,

crease the rapidity of the work but
tend to reduce the number of errors
on the part of the clerks doing the
punching. With the old punching ma.
chine, If an error was made In a sin.
gle item, even though 1t might be the
last item to be punched on the card,
the entire card had to be destroyed
This consumed time and also resulted
in a temptation to the operator to let
the error go uncorrected.
With the machines now to be used
no hole is punched In the card until
the keys for all the facts to be punch
ed have been set, and II the opera
tor makes a mistake by depressing the
wrong key, he can correct 1t before
the card is punched. It was not found
possible at the last census to check
all of the cards back to the schedules,
and it will probably not be feasible to
do so at this census. Part of, the
cards punched by each operator are
selected at random and compared
back, and If any appreciable percen-
tage Of error is discovered in those
thus compared the other cards punch.
by the same operator are likewise
compared.
The semi-automatic electrical tabu.
lating machines to be used at the pres.
emit census will also result, It is be-
lieved, in a material increase Of rapid
ity and reduction Of errors. This is
principally brought a out by the fact
that the results Of the count for each
unit Of area are automatically printed,
whereas, formerly, they were regis
tired on dials from which readings had
20 be taken and recorded by hand.
The reading of these dials took large
amount OF time, during which the ma
chine was idle, and inaccurate read
ings were not uncommon.
The new method of punching and
tabulation employs a small manila
card, about 6xS inches in size, to rep.
resent each individual composing the
population April Is, 1910. For this
purpose alone, 100000 cards have
been purchased.
