Exploring the Google Image search requires a great deal of patience, as the lineprinter builds up the results out of alphanumeric characters. But I couldn't resist trying.

As a search string, I tried the era-appropriate "JFK."

Ha! Neat! I will have to try again at work to hear the sound (baby sleeping here and no headphones).

That brings back memories. I still remember watching a co-worker rewire a board in a collator( iirc) so we could resort a deck of JCL cards that had been dropped.

p.s. I know they were Hollerith cards but we called them JCL cards or sometimes driver decks.

That was cool. I'm just old enough to remember all those components; a nice walk down memory lane!

Both interesting and deeply annoying ;). I'm sure glad we're done with all that.
