Mr Hollerith was inspired by punchcards he witnessed being used by railroad tickets. When the railroad man would ask for your ticket, he would use a hand punch to punch a hole in the ticket. The hole he punched was punched in your ticket in special places on the card that described the passengers appearance, so tickets could not be faked.
