A new machine installed at the Manitoba Government printing plant handles the assembly of over 190 000 motor vehicle registration forms. It can gather three consecutive sheets and insert them into envelopes at 3000 per hour, replacing a six week effort by 10 workers. Bert Lang operates the machine, expected to take 10 to 12 days for this project, with other duties planned. Each envelope contains a registration form and an instruction sheet. The machine stops if two sheets are picked up at once and features four collating stations, the fourth for IBM record cards.
