I never saw one of those--just regular keypunches not far from the
operator's console. But heck, if you were the operator, you could
always copy a file to the punch queue. On the 6000, there was a PP
utility called "O26" (oh, not zero) that allowed for the creation of a
text file from the operator's console.
