Tab equipment programming for processing punch cards and compiling
reports from them. The programs were wired onto boards with wires you

This is entirely untrue. The 1401 was a completely programable
computer, it did not use wired panels. Also, punch cards were not
patterned after the dollar bill. They were a completely different size
(larger, in all directions), and were designed to hold data in a
format that could be read by using wires to sense the holes. The wire
"brushes" needed a certain spacing between the holes, so they wouldn't
overlap, and they needed a certain length where there was a hole, so
the wire could fall through and make contact with the contact roll.
That is what governed the size of punch cards.
Now, since it is apparent that neither one of you knows what you are
talking about, how about shutting up, and let the rest of us get on
with life.

You are right about that. It used to be "common knowledge" that the
were, but apparently more recent investigations have refuted that.
