Scales relating to the design of punch cards are on the left side and the bottom, a scale of inches divided to tenths is at the top, and scales of sixths and eighths of inches are on the right edge. A paper envelope explains the symbols. A mark on the object reads: B. The logo is one that Burroughs Corporation first used in commerce in 1947 and registered in 1969.
