Which was the first machine to have an optical card reader (V brass roller)?
For card based data processing, such as what my father did for Office Of Civil Rights,
that speed improvement made a big difference.
I'm not sure why that would make it faster. I've only seen brass roller reading
in an IBM card sorter, which ran probably as fast as, if not faster than, than the fastest
card reader I've ever seen.
