In one of the episodes of "Person of Interest" a sci-fi TV show currently popular, one of the main characters "Harold Finch" uses a quote, something similar to the following combination of words:
"Don't worry, we have more names in our ...".
The part with the dots is an unusual word which I immediately looked up (I forgot the exact name of the device). The device mentioned was something that was used post second world war and no longer popular, it contained cards with personal information of whomever, which you could slide over the device one by one. In some sense it could be seen as a personal phone book sort of thing, except more geared towards just information like address, zip/postal code, city, etc. What is the name of such a device?
I hope this description is not too vague. (I'm also uncertain about the tagging, so feel free to edit that.)
