Yes I remember that machine, but I don't know what it was called. It was an accurate way to measure, and ripping the fabric was a straight and accurate way to separate it from the bolt. Aaaah the good old days!

About a million years ago, I worked at House of Fabrics in So. Calif. We used those gizmos and ripped the fabric after it was notched. Fabric was 36" wide and most of it was under $1.00 a yd. That was in the late 60's to early 70's. Like I said, a million years ago(lol).
