Converting to Alternate-Size Cards (Optional)
Reading of 80-column cards requires no special attachments in the input hopper and output
stackers.
However, when converting the card reader from 80-column cards to 51-column
cards, the operator makes afew simple changes in the hopper and stackers, using the optional
equipment described below.
The operator places in position a 51-column-card rail in the input hopper and each output
stacker. This rail is a rectangular-shaped bar that runs the length of the h0pper or stacker.
The leading edges of the shorter cards ride against the card rail. (See Figure 7.)
