I was curious if anyone recognizes this punched card reader. Marked:
AMP Incorporated - SYSCOM Division.
Can't help with the identity, but I'm loving the 9 edge hanging out the
front in contravention of the instruction label! :)
Apparently AMP didn't know the "face down nine edge first" song...
When the time comes, BURY ME faace down, nine edge first.

Well, I am definitely not the first one to say it.
Face down: since card readers deal off the bottom of the deck, that puts
the first card first. for burial, I can moon the world, or they can kiss
my ass.
9 edge first puts the cut corner on the outside, where it is visible, to
notice if a card is turned. I have seen corner cut on either left OR
right upper corner. I don't recall seeing any with both corners cut.
