I worked in a DP agency in St Martin's Lane, on the edge of Soho, for a while after Uni. We ran lots of work for marketing companies. Many of them had their data punched in by the punch "girls", actually about 30 middle-aged Chinese women, who all chain-smoked and shouted at one another in Cantonese.
In my case the punch operators were all female and between the ages of about 18 and 22; so always a pleasant visit for me. I recall that the keyboards they used on the machines were not Qwerty but some other arrangement, and that they typed so fast their?hands were a blur.
