I do use NUC pre-56 which is a powerful tool for understanding alphabetical sequences, but there is something about the cards that can't be conveyed by images alone. And if *all* the card catalogs are gone except for rare samples in very small batches (which is pretty much the case at this point), there's no way for future generations who've never filed to fully understand the technology.
