Is this new? I remember doing an essay on it some 15 years ago.

That whisker/finger thing for the page is interesting, wonder if it ever accidentally moves more than 1 page
That's unavoidable, the question is, how does it handle it?

Fairly confident I can do this…grabs calculator…no, I can do about half, 1200 pages per hours.

Snap two pages at the same time, lift acrylic, flip page, snap, takes about 3sec per spread.
