The Simonds Manufacturing Company, of Fitchburg, Mass., is a large manufacturer of all varieties of steel rule for cutting, scoring or perforating. This concern is in a position to furnish the folding box maker with any kind of steel cutting or steel creasing rule. The American Type Founders’ Company, of Jersey City, N. J., or any of the printers’ supply houses, will also furnish the box maker with steel cutting or scoring rule.
THE WORK-BENCH FOR THE FOLDING BOX MAKER.
A good, substantial work-bench, fitted with drawers, tools, vise, steel rule cutter, etc., is an essential for the folding box maker. The box maker who is “handy” may readily build his own work-bench with the necessary lumber, but for the information of those who may not know about it, the American Type Founders’ Company has a steel work-bench which is very convenient for the purposes of a folding box making plant. On request, this company will send illustrated circulars describing this steel work-bench.
THE STEEL RULE CUTTER AND THE STEEL RULE BENDING
MACHINE.
While it is possible for the folding box maker to cut steel rules to all required sizes for dies on an ordinary lead and rule cutter, such as is used in a printing office, nevertheless the writer strongly advises the installation of a “Hercules” Steel Rule Cutter in the folding box factory. This device is made by J. F. Helmold & Brother, of 1462 Hamburg street, Chicago. It is especially built for cutting all thicknesses of steel cutting, or steel scoring rule, to any lengths wanted.
If the box maker desires to cut steel rule on an ordinary printers’ lead and rule cutter, this device must be kept in first class order, and the cutting must be done in that part of the machine which is intended to cut only heavy brass rule.
