Default Re: Dial Label Number Stamping Machine.

Similar numbering machines were in common use in lots of places till the advent of computer printing, I first came across them when working in a library 40 odd years ago, they were used to print accession numbers on new library stock. They could be set to print the same number several times before automatically going on to the next number in the sequence; so the book and probably 2 catalogue index cards could be numbered before moving on to the next book.
