Reminds me of an actual paper hole
"punch" that I encountered at
Ferranti back in my youth in the print room. We used to photo-copy
compter manuals and transport them over to this beast. You could put
a 2" or more high stack of paper on it, clamp it down, and have it
*drill* through the stack at the relevant points for the ring binders.
Beat feeding it three sheets at a time through the desktop punch!
Yep, pretty cool. Paper drills are about as common as, oh,
printing presses in the printing industry.
