Searching A Card Catalog

The Obsolete Skills wiki has an entry on Searching A Card Catalog, which includes:

“Use of the retaining rods for swordplay, while a way to break up the tedium of searching, was not appreciated by library staff.”

I beg to differ!  Library staff appreciated this as a way to break up the tedium of filing the *%$@ cards!
