The
Prisoner is hospitalized after having had a very nasty experience with the
Guardian. Then he’s invited by a doctor to have a medical, after all the after
effects of being suffocated into unconsciousness can be pretty nasty. The
Prisoner is strongly advised to have a medical, after all it’s for his own
good. But what kind of medical is it, when all the doctor does it check the
man’s heart? It’s not a thorough medical at all. The doctor then programmes the
computer probably with some basic fact’s, and out pops a computer printout card
diagnosing that the patient is absolutely fit! How is the doctor able to read,
or at least interpret the content of that printout card?

It's just a matter of practice, David. Each character consists of a combination of punched holes. Usually, the characters are printed in the top line of the punched card as can be seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card#/media/File:Blue-punch-card-front-horiz.png

Hello Michael {113b}
DeleteI should think it would take a great deal of practice! I still don't see how he did it, unless it was interpretation!
Thank you for the link.
