Now that brings back a flash from the past. I can't remember if the context
was bank checks or punched cards, (probably the latter), but way back in the
past I remember seeing a machine that would slowly feed such a document
between a pair of rollers. The rollers had a pattern in them not unlike a
cutter that would be used to produce a crosshatched knurling pattern on a
tool handle, but the pattern was not as deep. They used substantial pressure
and would straighten the subject document right smartly. Fingers too, no
doubt.
