I had for 25 years on my desk the program drum (complete with a card wrapped around it)
that I snagged as a souvenir from the last keypunch machine at Rutgers. It was extremely
rare that anybody ever understood what it was. Sometimes, I even had to explain what a
punched card was.
The joy of drum cards.
