BigPrint is a demonstration program run on the IBM 1401
The input is a series of cards:

The first card is a date card.
Whatever is in the first 25 columns of this card is considered the date.
January 23, 1987 is as good as 1/23/87

The second card is the first name card.
The name is expected to be two names like Tom Jones.
The first name can be up to 12 characters
The second name can be up to 11 characters.
There can be three names like Juan el Capitan
The program will l print Juan on the first line and El Capitan on the second line.
Except that there must be a space between names, the rest of the spacing does not matter.
All extra spaces will be ignored.

There is no limit to the number of name cards that can be used.

The last card is the End Of File card.
Columns 1-5 must be (EOF)

The program will terminate with a halt.
If you want to run it again with a new set of cards, set sense switch G on, clear the card reader, place the second date, name and EOF cards in the reader and press start.

If you don’t want to run it again, leave sense switch  G off and when you press start, it will look for and read in the next program.
