into a ruling machine. Not the least remarkable feature is the form of the perforations,which are cut out of the paper cleanly, without any trace of burr, inoblong holes instead of the usual round holes. The machine will per-forate a single sheet of manifold paper (without the usual aid of athicker sheet) or heaviest manilla paper. The oblong perforations are the distinctive feature of this machine.There is no displacement or swell of the paper along the perforatedlines, and the clean cut of every hole, the absence of all burr, and theease with which the paper separates through the perforations, commendthe machine to all who aim to do the best grade of work. This perforator is in use in a majorit3^ of the first-class manufacturingstationers and printing houses, and is built thoroughly well. All partsare interchangeable.

Designed for small shops, where ruling is not done very rapidly, andwhere, therefore, the ink has time to dry (though the carrier is short)after the paper has passed under the pens and before it drops into thereceiving box at feeders feet. So far as material and workmanshipare concerned, there is nothing better made than Stjde 2-B. The differ-ence between it and the higher-priced rulers is simply in the numberof parts used. Striking is accomplished on this machine exactly as it ison the Style i-A ruling machine. Paper drops into receiving box. STYLE 1=A HICKOK HAND STRIKER RULING MACHINE. Described on opposite pag-e.
