When I was ~10 years old & goofing around with programming keypunch drum
cards while my dad was tearing his hair over 407 panels, I had an 024
keypunch auto-numbering the cards.  I showed him this, he SAW it
happening until the hopper was empty.  He didn't believe it even though
he was watching it; I couldn't make it happen again.  His 'impossible'
declaration was discouraging, so I gave up.  He'll get a kick out of this
though.  Thanks for acknowledging that it CAN (or could) be done.

Now does anybody remember how to do it?
