US Patent No. 89,945, granted May 11, 1869 to Albert Rohrbeck of New York, for a machine that stamps perforated lace paper of the kind used by confectioners and cigar-makers. A spring-driven hammer, raised by a shaft with two fingers acting in a slotted plate, drops onto a steel cutting-plate and replaces hand-struck perforating tools. The document has a drawing sheet with three figures, followed by the specification and three claims.
