Today, when we had to get into the Mansfield houses for more fibre measuring, we went to Physical Plant to get a master key.
They didn't have one, so they pulled out a blank, stuck it into a key punch, and made one.

What had me wowing for a bit afterwards was how the key punch worked. Each notch on the key corresponded to a number.

That key was a bearer of information.

Yes, it's stunningly obvious, but it was terribly neat at the time, really. :)

heh

You might be surprised how many significant bits are on that key...
