One line of computer programming, whichever language you were using. Up to 80 characters wide, same as the card's width.
I remember. And we loved it. No home computers, no cellphones, no internet. Mid 70's in my case.
@shibaprasad @Full_marx I forgot to mention the other highlighted box, on the right side of the card -- it was the project number, so if you dropped or mixed the card you could still find where it belonged.

Wasn't it lovely? 😄

After the mainframe and Fortran, punched cards time, my next experience was with an early home computer, a Sinclair Z80 clone, and it was not the best thing to type on.
Things change a lot, certainly. 😃
@shibaprasad
Thank you. Brings back some nice memories. 😄
