Every card catalog I ever used, the cards had a hole at the bottom, with a steel rod that ran the length of the drawer, holding all cards in and in place.

Yep, ours did too. Problem was, kids had a bad short term memory, and would rip the cards off the rod. When the librarian caught them doing that, it was detention. Our school didn't have the funds to replace the ripped out cards. Which also explains why our school took ther longest to upgrade to computers. lol

Similarly, these days we can 'scan and send' from our computer. In the old days it was a case of using this:
I remember operating one of these. First you had to create a 'template' using a stencil sheet fed into a typewriter. The template would be affixed to an ink drum and the outer sheet peeled off once secured to the drum. After running the duplicate sheets off would then incur folding the flyers of an Annual General Meeting into envelopes done by hand, up to 450 in a day! Otherwise known as a Lithograph.

Reminded me of a support engineer who was called out to a local government officer on £30 K who was having printing problems. The engineer found they were attempting to replenish the paper via the output tray! 
So this is not a modern problem, then?

Great news, their memory got shorter, laced with colorful lingo, which means more to them then the food they eat.
