single-conductor patch cord....if you look at the plug, a stereo
patch cord has 3 sections on it (left, right, and ground), mono
has two (signal and ground).
Single conductor patch cord has a "solid" plug (only carries
signal, as there is no need to patch ground between plug-ins...
On a properly configured analog computer, the chassis of all of
the components are grounded together with grounding straps
at installation.

Actually, a better way to put it is:
------ ------
/ | | |X - - \
/ | | |/+\- - - \
/ | | |/+ +\- - - \
/ | | |/+ + +\- - - \

\ | | |\+/- - - /

----- ------
Except that the relative size of the "+" field is HUGE
and the size of the "-" and "|" fields are very small (about
1 to 2 orders of magnitude smaller than "+"

Actually, EBCDIC persists for the same reason COBOL does.
The so-called "Dusty-deck" problem.
Nobody wants to rewrite the code to use ASCII.
IBM would be doing their customers a favor by making it easier
to migrate to ASCII by making dual-mode (EBCDIC & ASCII) printers.
The problem is this...you have code that works on some database.
It's all written for EBCDIC.
If you convert even ONE program to ASCII, then you have to convert
EVERYTHING...that program *and* the database *and* EVERY SINGLE OTHER
PROGRAM THAT INTERACTS WITH THAT DATABASE.
Normally, there is just WAY too much chaos as is, without introducing
a character-set conversion as well.

DOS implemented DIR | more as

A sequential operation, which is NOT the parallel operation
