A package tape dispenser, coffee grinder, jack in the box, organ grinder box (just needs the monkey), meat grinder#2: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 2, 2013
I thought of all of these also Norma. I wanted to make the spirit duplicator to see if anyone would remember what one is. All schools had them for making copies. You put a stencil on a drum,inverted the plastic bottle of alcohol with a bird feeder valve,and cranked the handle and your copies came out.:)#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Apr 2, 2013
We called then mimeograph machines.#4: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Apr 2, 2013 [SPOILER]

Seems like we just can't get enough spirits.#6: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 3, 2013
Lol Norma and John. The mimeograph is the same principle but uses ink that's in the drum or cylinder which has tiny holes throughout it. The ink seeps thru the holes. The spirit duplicator uses alcohol and the ink is on the stencil then is transferred to paper.:)#7: Tonia Bergh (tonia) on Apr 3, 2013 [SPOILER]

I remember that scene. :)#15: Leimamo Kubo (Leimamo) on May 30, 2016
I can go back even further. When I was in the 6th grade, my teacher used the hectograph method of making copies. She had a tray of gelatin and put an inked copy on it. She had us making copies by applying clean sheets of paper on the gelatin, smoothing them and then pulling them off.
