missing a piece of information that tells the card reader about the length of the card and
that warns the card reader that the card is finished.

The card reader has no "smarts". Its operation relies solely on the switches and the CPU board plus the sense chip speed control. The only data that is on the cards is program info plus for the 67, extra data for checksum, card info and some calculator formatting.
