Note from the Roldán widow

My husband kept the combination on two punched cards. Apart they are nothing but speckle. One on top of the other, properly placed, the number comes out.

Drag the top card, or nudge it with the arrows, until the two screens agree.

Sharpness

The two screens are fighting each other.

Once the card is nearly there, this button takes up the last hair for you.

The figure that comes out

Move the top card. The figure appears all at once.
