Congratulations Tony,
I see a few of us have accumulated more than 40 years in the trade, but 2
months shy of 50 years is an impressive achievement. I have less than 5 years
to catch up, but don't think I will. Enjoy your retirement in good health.
Regards,
Paul Gillis

A mechanical card sorter would select a slot based on a hole in a
particular column.
When you remove the cards from a slot, you verify the proper cards
were selected by putting a small rod through that hole.
