Today is "Statement Day"

That bi-monthly event where I sit and generate paper work to mail to
customers.   After I've folded my 10th bit of paper into thirds to stuff
in an envelope; it occurred to me that this might be a good idea for
Lego.

Has anyone ever build something that folds paper?

I built a small paper folder once, it only handled pieces of paper about the
size of a business card.  But, the idea could probably be modified to handle
something larger.  I modelled it on a machine we had in the print shop way
back when I was in high school (seems like 200 years ago!)

I have a picture of it somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.  Basically,
paper was feed in between two tires, when it hit a 'stop' it could only go
one direction, where it would be grabbed by a second set of tires - this is
what created the fold.  It was a fun little project.  :-)
