For the original punch card machinery:

 See the April 14, 2013 post, with photos of the circa 1830 jacquard looms run by the original punch cards, and the card punching machinery.  The jacquard technology is older than that, of course, but these looms have been in operation, though slower now, since they were built.

The cartoon is pretty good, too.
