I'm not sure DEC _had_ a card punch for the PDP11's. Readers, yes, the CR11:

but I don't think they had a punch (although there was one for the PDP-10
family, the CP10).

I think the CR11 must have been _relatively_ common, based on how many
readers and CR11 controller cards survive. Maybe not in computer science
installations, though... :-)
