As did I. Neat factoid... fascinating to see that the basic foundation of the coding developed by IBM for the punch cards is still the basis for IBM mainframe and mid range computer coding language even today. This is known as Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) and is a direct descendant of the IBM 360/40 computer coding.

This means that while not practical to do- the same language used to guide GM operations in the late 1960's can still be read and understood by modern mainframe computers even today.
