- Jacquard Loom, 1934 - Joseph-Marie Jacquard's loom, first developed in 1801, is programmable. It used a series of punched cards to control the lifting of each individual warp thread to weave a figured fabric. With this loom, weavers could create intricate patterns more easily, faster, and with better accuracy. Punch card technology became the basis for computer data storage during the 20th century.

- Portrait of Joseph-Marie Jacquard, 1839 - This portrait of French inventor Joseph-Marie Jacquard (1752 - 1834) was woven of fine silk using the mechanism that he developed and patented in 1804. Jacquard's device employs punched cards to store the intricate pattern design and to control the loom. These loom cards eventually led to the data cards used in early digital computers.
