Today I Learned: A Fascinating Discovery

A close-up of an old, worn paper tape with holes, showing a section where a rectangular patch has been applied over some holes. Red ink markings, including the number '4' and the letter 'A', are visible on the tape. The text overlay at the top reads 'The "Patch"', and a caption at the bottom explains that small corrections to programmed sequences were done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section. The image is credited to the Smithsonian Archives Center.
