Context

Country: Unknown
State/Province: Unknown
Period: Unknown
Canada: Press carries inventory label of the Canadian Government Printing Bureau.
Function: Machine used for mortising and inserting corrections on printing plates. Originally used for pattern making, and driven by a line shaft motor. Machine is a combination drill press and jigsaw.
Technical: This drill was used when it was necessary to drill holes to an exact location in a large number of parts. The part to be drilled could be fastened and drilled immediately. This saved layout time, avoided incorrectly located holes, and was economically favoured. Research has been done on a combination piece but no example has been found; could be a very unique piece.
