#iykyk : Long before software, there was hardware. In legal tech, there may not be another piece of technology (other than maybe a pen?) that has had longer staying power. Patented in 1891, the Bates Numbering Machine was used by lawyers to stamp a unique, consecutive page number on their discovery documents. It was used until the early 2000’s (!?!?!) when Avery labels and eventually electronic Bates numbering replaced it. A piece of history that was innovative in it’s time and continues to leave echoes of the ingenuity even today.
If you relate or know someone who would relate, this is the soft heather shirt for you!
