Who is credited with the idea of using punch cards to control patterns in a weaving machine?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
The Jacquard machine is a device fitted to a power loom that simplifies the process of manufacturing textiles with such complex patterns as brocade, damask and matelasse. The loom was controlled by a "chain of cards"; a number of punched cards laced together into a continuous sequence.
