| Description: | "On February 18, 1879, George W. McGill of New York was awarded a patent for what would become the first commercially successful stapler - The McGill's Patent Single Stroke Staple Press. This device used wire staples that were inserted into the machine one at a time. The "Single-Stroke" part of the name derives not from the one-at-a-time loading of the staples, but from the fact that the machine inserted and clinched a wire staple in a single operation of the plunger. This set it apart from most other paper fasteners of the time that required multiple operations." |
