For punch cards, the rows, reading from the top were:

    12-row
    11-row
     0-row
    ... etc.
    9-row

a total of 12 rows of holes, and of course 80 columns. The upper left hand 
corner was cut off at an angle. Lord! We used to compose programs sitting at 
the keypunch, instead of a terminal. "Ah, youth is wasted on the young!"

"So now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall."
    Beatles
