When I started working at Bell Canada in 1973 (I had just come from an electronics program at Conestoga College) I was surprised to see so much electromechanical technology still in use. Both the 5xB cross-bar switch as well as the number-4 toll tandem switch employed a punched card machine (called a trouble recorder) for reporting problems to the technicians on duty. That code was the 2-of-5 code. Any card containing fields with three or zero punches was immediately discarded as junk. Neilrieck (talk) 11:02, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
