I am a visual thinker much of the time, but more than a few words would help.
Cards are a wonderful analogy.
I am so reminded of a "toy" computer from the 1950's and early 1960's, usually advertised next to Geniac that consisted of a bunch of punched cards (that you punched?) that you sort with sticks. An early database, I guess.
I searched all over, including my downloaded archive of electronics magazines from the era (many of which I read at the time)
I can picture it, but the internet can't find it. I guess it's interesting when an old brain seems to have better recall than internet search.
I so wanted those gadgets but the lawn-mowing "fortune" never approached the prices.
