unreferenced date May 2010 Hollerith Code is the 12 bit code used on a punched card . In 1896, HermanHollerith 1860 1929 formed a company called the Tabulating Machine Company . This company developed a line of machines that used punched card s for tabulation . After a number of merger s, the Tabulating Machine Company was formed into the International Business Machines Corporation, now referred to more commonly as IBM , Inc. We often refer to the punched cards used in computer system s as Hollerith cards in honor of HermanHollerith. A Hollerith string is a sequence of 12 bit characters they are encoded as two ASCII characters, containing 6 bits each the first character contains punches 12, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and the second character contains punches 11, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 interleaving the two characters gives the original 12 bits. To make the characters printable on ASCII terminals, bit 7 is always set to 0, and bit 6 is set to the complement of bit 5. These two bits are ignored when reading Hollerith cards. A device for translating a multi bit input code into a desired multi bit output code including a double ended decoding circuit which converts the signals representing an input character into a single signal and apparatus which encodes this single signal into the signals representing a corresponding output character. alphanumeric code Simply a code that uses both letters of the alphabet and numbers. 12 bit In binary base 2 only 0 and 1 are used as count weight. Decimal number system Decimal base 10 numbers 0 through 9 are used. A 12 bit decimal number is 100 000 000 000 and is read 100 Giga or one hundred thousand million. In binary 12 bit is 1000000000 and each place is a power of 2 so this number is 2 10 1024 decimal.

Hollerith constants , named in honor of HermanHollerith , were used in early FORTRAN programs to allow manipulation of character data. Early FORTRAN had no code CHARACTER code data type , only numeric types. In order to perform character manipulation, characters needed to be placed into numeric variables via Hollerith constants. For example the constant code 3HABC code specified a three character string ABC . These constants were typeless , so that there were no type conversion issues. If the constant specified fewer characters than was possible to hold in a data item, the characters were then stored in the item left justified and blank filled . Mechanics By the FORTRAN 66 Standard, Hollerith syntax was allowed in the following uses As constants in code DATA code statements As constant actual arguments in subroutine code CALL code statements As edit descriptors in code FORMAT code statements Portability was problematic with Hollerith constants. First, Word data type word sizes varied on different computer systems, so the number of characters that could be placed in each data item likewise varied. Implementations varied from as few as two to as many as ten characters per word. Second, it was difficult to manipulate individual characters within a word in a portable fashion. This led to a great deal of shifting and masking code using non standard, vendor specific, features. The fact ... rendering almost all uses of the Hollerith constant technique obsolete.

Herman Cake is a pass along sourdough cake which continues to grow as it contains yeast . This acts like a Chain email chain letter and could in theory continue forever. Herman sits on the worktop for ten days altogether, and due to the amount of yeast that it contains, smells distinctly of beer . The Herman cake can breathe when covered loosely with a tea towel and left out on the worktop and stirred occasionally. This breathing occurs because of the yeast in the Herman cake, and the cake mixture bubbles frequently. When a person receives Herman from a friend, he will be presented to them in a small plastic tub along with a set of instructions to guide this person through the next ten days with the Herman cake mixture. On the ninth day, Herman is divided into four equal parts and three of these parts are passed along to friends. The last quarter is kept and on the tenth day is cooked.
