However, the 80-column cards make GREAT bookmarks (especially for
paperbacks).
And UNIVAC had a 90 column binary coded card, it was not Hollerith
coded.

We used to use the Hollerith code. That was after we changed from 7-track

Many of those problems were fixed when card readers went to a more
elaborate belt feed, as they were 're' flattened prior to the read
station. The same technique was tried in early belt-fed weapons, to
the chagrin of the dear departed testers.
They're gonna throw us out of this list...

One thing I remember from the 029 days was correction stickers for punch
cards. If you needed to correct a mispunched card, you could cover the

If fold cannot find a space to break on, what does it do? I think it
