From the hebrew version of the book Computers and How They Work (1967). This page explains the IBM punch card, it seems. Sent to us by Alma Alloro, thanks!

The Hellschreiber teleprinter, used by the German military for telecommunications in the 1930s. Due to its pixel-based font, it performed better than the typewriter-based technologies at the time.

This system is still being used by some radio amateurs.
