I just learned about a new data storage format. A rare analog digital hybrid. Behold the "Aperture Card"
This is a punch card that holds a microfiche slide with a document, diagram or photo.
The punch card could be used to catalog the scanned document or to make searching easier.
(Why does looking at these give me feelings. I love this. )

My first full-time job working with a computer involved a Burroughs Accounting Machine that used 'ledger cards' the size of A17 paper, which had a magnetic strip containing the last ledger entry. The strips often failed, so you had to re-enter the data printed on the card.
They had a separate card sorter unit.
I was hired to facilitate the conversion from that monstrosity to a 'more modern' (early 1980s) NCR minicomputer. But I still had to use it for 6 months.
