The staple-driver and pocket are made of hardened steel, andcan be replaced for a trifle. A cut-off prevents more than one staple being drivenat a time.

Patent Double Blind-Wirer.
This is a very simple automatic machine for wiring both the slat and rodand attaching them together. The staples are fed regular with precision. A cut-off attachment to the feed prevents more than one staple being driven at atime. Both the staple-driver and the pocket-holder are made of steel, and hard-ened, and can be renewed for a few cents.
The notched carrier is made of wood, and spaced to suit the distances desiredto drive the staples apart. In operation the slat is wired in the upper and theslat and rod wired together by the lower driver, both working by one move-ment of the lever.
