Baltimore, MD. In handling millions of records two things are of great importance: accuracy and speed. Social Security Account numbers are divided according to the area in which the account number was issued, the group within the area, and the serial, or individual number. There are 9,999 individual or serial numbers in each group, and 100 groups in each area. To eliminate chance of human error, and to speed up the work, the area number and the group number of each account is punched on the employee master card by a "gang punch" machine. Only those serial numbers belonging to the same area and group are put into the gang punch machine at one time. Thus the machine need be set only once to punch the correct area and group number on hundreds of cards faster and more accurately than a human being could. The photograph above shows master card being punched with holes representing area and group numbers in the gang punch machine

Baltimore, Md. For every social security account number issued an "employee master card" is made in the Social Security Board Records Office. Testifying data, given on the application blank, form ss-5 is transferred to this master card in the form of up ended quadrangular holes, punched by key punch machines, which have a keyboard like a typewriter. Each key struck by an operator causes a hole to be punched in the card. The position of a hole determines the letter or number other machines will reproduce from the master card. The position of the hole determines the letter or number other machines will reproduce from the master card. From this master card is made an actuarial card, to be used later for statistical purposes. The master card also is used in other machines which sort them numerically, according to account numbers, alphabetically according to the name code, translate the holes into numbers and letters, and print the data on individual ledger sheets, indexes, registry of accounts and other uses. The photograph above shows a records office worker punching master cards on a key punch machine

Baltimore, MD. Chances of a mechanical error escaping detection are infinitesimal in the Social Security Board Records Office and great care is excercised to guard against human error. After the employee master card has been prepared, and before it is sent on to reproduce an acturial card, indexes, registers and a individual ledger account. It goes to a review section. Here the original application and the master card are brought together and checked for error. Checking is done by a team of two workers, and the few errors which have been made are corrected. Reviews of errors are reduced to a minute part of one perscent. The photograph above shows a part of the review section at work
