Description:

This Berry had the latest technology of its time when it came to drilling holes in paper.

Our machine, which looks a lot like the latterly made Nygren Dahly, had some incredible technology which included spiral cleanouts or augers to force the chips through the hollow drill, as well as an automatic lifting table. All the bindery girl needed to do was keep her hair away from the open gears and load piles of paper whenever the table came down.
