next several jobs to make an squirel's nest out of the insides of the
printer.
I've been saving two card decks from around 1970, which when run on an
IBM 1401, will play "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" and
"Anchors
Aweigh" on the 1403 printer. Wasted a lot of paper, and annoyed a lot of
operators. :-)
