Provenance/History A wire stitching machine was used in the APH bindery to staple the spines of books and magazines. The machine feeds wire from a spool, cuts it, forms a staple, drives it, and folds over the points. An operator used foot pedals to control the machine. Similar machines are still in use at APH. The company acquired its first wire stitcher around 1902. APH purchased its first "Perfection" stitcher on February 14, 1910. They purchased another in March 1911. The Illinois Braille and Sightsaving School, formerly the Illinois School for the Blind, closed its printshop in the summer of 1963. Most of the machinery in the shop was bought by APH and brought to Louisville. |
