i have heard before that some cards are "wire cut" rather then guillotine cut. o-pee-chee cards are notorious for rough cuts when the wire used to get dull.
I did work briefly at a printing place where a guillotine cutter was used and it was rather thick (1/8 inch). It wouldn't seem like the cards on the proof would be cut with one of those, they look too close together.
a guillotine cutter would generally have edging that would hold whatever was being cut in place which makes me think a guilltine might not have been used at this time period. Im not sure things were completely automated back then.
Does anyone know for a fact what the cutting procedure was in 1910?? we can speculate based on what happens now, but how about 100 years ago?
