What's a Mag Card II?

The microbiology lab where I worked kept a different card with each type of
pathology report on them. The operator would enter the sample information
into a "canned" document, and then could append any additional comments.

These machines were real popular in the early 1970's for thesis typing and
routine reports. You could put a chapter or a section on an individual
card. Our secretary in graduate school had one and kept all the routine
documents on individual cards. You wanted to requisition something she put
in the requisition mag card, filled in the blanks and printed out the
requisition. The unit had a IBM Selectric style printer as an output
device.
