The system also has to be able to merge up to four sheets together per form as the real product is for the full size credit card forms that one uses with either NCR paper, or with carbon. They can handle both. they print with offset plates onto the stock, and not with the types of cylinders I've seen. The Holerith card stock was made by taking an actual card, and measuring it and making a die to cut to that size, and scanning the image on the card. not a big difference from the cards that are used in full sized credit card machines. The machine is about 15' or more long, 2' wide and probably 10' high. Multiple stock roll holders can be positioned depending on the number of forms being laminated for the run, so the setup can get pretty large. I don't know how many lines they had, but there were several of the machines. Not sure I've got any photos, any I have were when I had a film camera, quite some time ago if I have any. thanks jim On 11/11/2016 2:46 PM, Al Kossow wrote: cards. saw it. >> >
