At work the other day someone showed me a pad of punch card keying order forms where you would fill them out and send them out to get punched. They even say "University of California Form xxxxxx" printed on the bottom of every page on the pad. He says when he stared in the 70s they had just stopped using punch cards.
- KC8ZKF 14y agoWhen I went to high school the cards were sorted manually. On our first day of school we were given a stack of IBM cards, punched with our student information. We would give one to each teacher when we reported to our first class. At the end of the day, the teacher would have a stack of cards for each of her classes. All these cards were sent somewhere (my school didn't have a computer), sorted. "DO NOT FOLD SPINDLE OR MUTILATE"
