The Jacquard's Loom used punched cards to control the weaving of intricate patterns in textiles. Each punched card represented a specific pattern or design. These cards were fed into the loom, and as the loom operated, the presence or absence of holes in the cards determined which warp threads were raised or lowered, creating the desired pattern in the fabric being woven.
