As was posted above and elsewhere, "file cards" are brushes that are used to clean files. They look sort of like a grooming brush used on cats and dogs, the kind you use to attempt to get all of the excess hair off of the animal before it gets all over your house (fat chance!).

File cards are a piece of wood with lots of short wires sticking up. The wires are about .010-.020" in diameter and spaced around .040" apart. I'll be very surprised if they aren't banned from now on, seeing the damage that can be done to the playing surface. Either that or the surface will change to something that makes the file cards useless like a rubber mat.

They banned velcro on wheels for the same reason a few years back.

Keep asking questions, we're here to help
