I stand corrected.  90 columns for Univac not 96.  Memory is the second thing 
to go and I forget what the first one is . . . 😊

I only saw them once, when working as a temp keypunch operator.  The service 
sent me to a Univac location and I had no idea how to operate their variety of 
keypunch machine, so that day was a bust for me.

UNIVAC initially used 90 column cards; they never used 96. It was IBM that used 
96 column card on the S/3.
