If you refer to the machine that separates the sheets into individual
pages when fed listing paper (continuous, but not on a roll, folded
every 11 inches with holes on the sides), they still exist. There is one
fast in the printing room for the State of California I worked on
recently. It feeds at 6 feet per second, an entire box of paper is
separated in a matter of minutes.
