Re: Interesting Find

I think starting on card printers/sorters/imprinters precedes all these newbies that had systems with hard disks, like System/32, System/34, and even 360/20's.
My first card deck floor drop was of the SORT7 program deck, which was about a full 80 column card box full of of multi-punch cards that could not be sorted into sequence again.
It represented the actual sort program that had to be loaded into the 1401's memory before it could perform a sort of data held in another card deck.
