Day 7

When looking at the punch card another way that we thought of to read it could be. The first rows X (12) and Y (11) and and the tenth row each having a different portion of the alphabet. X being the letters A through J, Y being K through T and the tenth row being U through Z. To figure out the word lets take the word BOOK for example. Go over to the first punch on row X, which would be punched and drag your finger down the column to the next punched number that would represent the order of the in which the letters go, giving you a word. So B O O K would be punched at the top of the row and the numbers 1 - 9 would represent the order, spelling out the word. (Hopefully I wrote this so that is it understandable. It is easier to explain but difficult to write.)
