And the brutish 1419 MICR reader/sorter for those in bank DP. Goodness but I had a love/hate relationship with those suckers.

Don't forget the "Green Card," the quick reference booklet... My "Green Card" was actually a System 370 version, and even though it was yellow, it was still the "Green Card!"

And LOTS of rubber bands... It only took 1 dropped card deck to realize you NEVER walk across the room without the deck being rubber-banded!
