When you cut the paper punching, and put creases in it bending it around the keypin, it seems to me to make the regulation unreliable. So, I've always done it the old fashioned way with the stack off.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Aug 15, 2007, at 7:00 PM, <A href="mailto:reggaepass@aol.com">reggaepass@aol.com</A> wrote:</DIV><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Any particular reason you would use cardboard punchings instead of cloth?</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Just in case the cloth wasn't firm enough to prevent accidents? The card punching stack would be more stable and accident proof. Also, cloth might be more difficult to "regulate" to support the key high enough. And, I usually have a thousand cardboard ones around and don't want to break a set of cloth, but that's just me being anal.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>:-)</DIV><DIV>Jeff</DIV><BR><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Jeff Tanner, RPT</DIV><DIV>University of South Carolina</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
