Reminds me of an actual paper hole "punch"

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.
Err... not that common. I have never heard of one of these before. Maybe
it's down to where you work, or have worked. Excluding work experience, I
have only had one job.
I've never worked at a print shop, but I've done a lot of business with several
of them in NJ, PA, MD, and FL. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a print shop that
didn't have a paper drill.
