Actually Mom used 'em too! The church organ used punched cards as a
quick way to set a bunch of stops at once. Since church organists are
often women and they frequently used hand lotion the cards began to get
pretty beat on the end they held. So at one point Dad used a manual one
hole at a time card punch to make several sets for the church.
There were several ways to duplicate them back in the day but by this
time Dad had retired and most of that equipment had already been
returned to the foundry to become Chevrolet or Fords.

Hey now...some of us here have never seen (ok used) a punch card.
The first IBM system I worked with was a RISC 9402-400... :p
