What was the name of the first machine that could be programmed by cards with holes punched holes?

The Jaquard Loom in 1801.

It was Joseph Marie Jaquard who improved the technique to create what is arguably the first fully-automated, re-programmable machine; insofar as once it was programmed, the machine could complete the job of its own accord.
