A few weeks ago there were some questions about the card format - and I didn't want to reply from memory. But as a result of a successful archeological expedition I now have before me a "FORTRAN STATEMENT" 80 column card (often called an "IBM card" although this specimen is from EAC - I think that is Electronic Accounting Company) and an IBM manual (GC28-6515-10 1974) for a *real* Fortran, FORTRAN IV.
The card has columns 1-5 ruled off for Statement Number, with a C above column 1 For Comment. Then col 6 is Continuation. Cols 7-72 are for the statement, and 73-80 for Identification. The manual says the same thing, in more words, and also describes the continuation card format. -- --henry schaffer
