Summary
| Description |
English: "Storage of IBM record cards at the Federal records center in Alexandria, Virginia, November 1959. Between 1950 and 1966 the records centers received millions of cubic feet of records, saving the federal government more than the total spent for the entire operation of the National Archives Records Service." Note: There are about 20 rows of pallets visible, each row is 15 pallets wide, pallets are stacked two high (at least). Each pallet contains 45 boxes of punched cards. Standard card boxes contained 2000 cards. Each card held up to 80 characters, for a total of about 4.3 billion characters of data in this storage facility - about the same as a 4GB flash drive.
Français : « Stockage de cartes perforées IBM au centre d'enregistrement fédéral à Alexandria en Virginie, en novembre 1959. Entre 1950 et 1966 les centres d'enregistrement recevaient des millions de mètres cubes d'enregistrements, épargnant au gouvernement fédéral plus que le total dépensé pour l'ensemble du fonctionnement du service national d'enregistrement des archives (National Archives Records Service). » Remarque : Il y a environ 20 rangées de palettes visibles, chaque rangée fait 15 palettes de large, les palettes sont empilées sur deux en hauteur (au moins). Chaque palette contient 45 boîtes de cartes perforées. Un carton standard contient 2000 cartes. Chaque carte stocke jusqu'à 80 caractères, pour un total d'environ 4,3 milliards de caractères de données dans ce centre de stockage - environ la même quantité qu'un média flash de 4Go.
Deutsch: "Lagerung von IBM-Aufzeichnungskarten im Federal Records Center in Alexandria, Virginia, November 1959. Zwischen 1950 und 1966 wurden in den Archivzentren Millionen von Kubikmetern an Unterlagen eingelagert, wodurch die Bundesregierung mehr einsparen konnte als für den gesamten Betrieb des National Archives Records Service ausgegeben wurde." Anmerkung: Es sind etwa 20 Reihen von Paletten zu sehen, jede Reihe ist 15 Paletten breit, die Paletten sind (mindestens) zwei Meter hoch gestapelt. Jede Palette enthält 45 Kartons mit Lochkarten. Standardkartenkartons enthielten 2000 Karten. Jede Karte enthielt bis zu 80 Zeichen, insgesamt also etwa 4,3 Milliarden Zeichen an Daten in diesem Speicher - das entspricht etwa einem 4-GB-Flash-Laufwerk. |
