A lot of these machines were used in higher education back in the day, a machine like this would have been allocated to a department and used by their staff as needed. Someone caused harm to it by not using it correctly and a technician added the crib card so there was no argument next time. I was a premises manager back in the day for a large FE college hence info.
Interesting, that makes sense. I've heard that similar HMV units were also used in educational settings. I have a similar card that's been made for my Iloca Stereo II camera, although given its condition and that I have the original box I don't think the camera was used in any institution. I think a previous owner made the card because of the camera's rather odd design and operation.
