Amazing. Punch cards are before my time but did she have to plot out the code before creating punch cards? I'm wondering about the " by hand " part of it.
As @hjeremy@lemm.ee noted, this was woven into core rope memory, not punch cards.
Oh that sounds neat. I'll go look that up as i haven't heard of core rope.
