A record or credit card reader is disclosed for scanning and sequentially sensing a row of raised numbers represented in a stylized font such as the Farrington 7B character font. A cluster of seven electrical switches have sensing fingers arranged in a pattern to simultaneously sense the three possible horizontal segments and the four possible vertical segments of a number on a card passed under the fingers. A timing electrical switch has a sensing finger located in the path of the lower horizontal segment of the raised numbers, and has an offset trailing location to cause the timing switch to be operated at the moment when the seven sensing fingers are over seven respective possible segments of a number, and to then cause an electrical readout of the number.
