My only possible questions would then be, was the wire used initially, then this other system brought in? Or, possibly, both methods utilized at the same time? This latter speculation could certainly account for the varying quality as well, and how there were definitely more nicer cuts as the years progressed.

My problem is I can find no evidence that ANY paper has EVER been cut with a hot wire. I worked for a printing company for 4 years, nobody there had ever heard of it, not even the old-timers.
If a wire is hot enough to cut paper how is it not setting stuff on fire, or at the very least scorching the edges? I think it's an urban legend that grew very long legs.
