Holder / Shear
The Holder / Shear performs two functions. It shears, or cuts the ribbon for the current
closure. It simultaneously holds the ribbon for the next closure. The Holder Shear cycles
between the two sides. Each side performs the same function, to shear the ribbon for the
current closure and to hold the ribbon for next closure.
