Two women discussing their work while entering data onto punched cards at Texas A&M in the 1950s. The woman on the left is at an IBM 056 Card Verifier. The verification process checks that information on the card has been entered correctly. A new operator will repeat the punching operations on the original card using the verifier, which will indicate if the original perforations and the second round of punching do not match.
