I have seen those before. I think I used them once to stuff envelopes. It helped me pick up separate the paper and prevented paper cuts. Did they use them to get some friction when picking up the punch cards perhaps?

Seen those used for sorting paper at the post office, and money at the credit union

I think I remember seeing them used in my dad’s work when I was a kid (early 90s)

Yeah, you can see the stack of punch cards below her hand, those rubber tips help separate the cards and generally have better grip on them. Here is something I just found on Amazonpic.twitter.com/tS1ZRPzEoI

Interesting... So there's still people out there using these things?
