That was called "interpreting" cards, IIRC. I forget whether there was a 
machine to do this (not that a site with no more punches or readers would have 
had one!), but I bet others here will remember.

ObJoke: What, you didn't remember how to just glance at the cards and read the 
punches? (I'm 100% sure that back in the day there were folks who could!)
