anecdotal, in the early to mid eighties I was in the US Air Force. The machine I was first assigned to watch over was in the secure comm center. This burroughs machine was the first non-tube computer made by burroughs. it could boot from paper tape or card and was replete with blinking lights. later I moved up in tech to a sperry/unisys system. all our personnel data and such was loaded via cards, physical cards in multiple boxes till near 88. So honestly I don't doubt they still do similar. I was just so glad we got out of boxes of cards because having to fix runs each night got old and all for bent card. it got me into programming, turbo pascal at the time. why, when we moved off physical cards it was then onto 360k floppies. The problem was, the upload/download programs provided could take half an hour or more to transfer to the 1100/70. The turbo pascal program did it in five or less per disk without issue.
