I've never hand punched cards, punching a program on a deck of cards at 
least meant that to change a statement just meant pulling a card and 
replacing it rather than juggling tapes.

The CDC 405 card reader was an interesting piece of kit, the cards were 
fed horizontally. To reduce friction the card trays vibrated, for some 
reason, on night shift, it wasn't unusual to find a female operator 
sitting on the card tray.
