FMS/McMahan Electro Pounce
In the late 1950's FMS began development work on an electric pounce machine designed to eliminate the drudgery of hand pouncing sign patterns. The Electro Pounce was first introduced to sign makers in 1961.
Save time and money by simply drawing with this electric pencil rather than using outdated pounce wheels. Crisp, clean holes of various sizes can be easily pounced in one or many sheets of paper by simply adjusting the voltage dial. Back sanding is no longer necessary because the Electro Pounce forms holes by actually eliminating unwanted material rather than just pushing it out of the way. Also, patterns last longer because holes made with the Electro Pounce are more resistant to tearing than conventionally pounced holes.

The Electro Pounce comes complete with a standard 10 foot pounce cord and a dozen replacement needles. Cord assemblies are stocked in several additional standard lengths, and custom cords of nearly any length are available on a special order basis.
Note: The Electro Pounce is a generator of Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI), sometimes referred to as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Though not a problem in the vast majority of installations, in certain situations EMI from the Electro Pounce can be a nuisance. There are several EMI prevention measures which have proven to be simple and effective. These measures include making sure the circuit on which the Electro Pounce is operating is properly grounded, and installing an EMI filter in the line.
