Box Tying Machinery
For some reason I had a memory pop up of the Burny Brothers Bakery outlet store in Northlake IL, here's a video (with Chicagoland media personality of the 20th century, Fahey Flynn):

BTW, the store when I lived in Northlake wasn't quite that nice, it was more like a convenience store without too much stock. But the thing I remember was something like this:

The one at Burny Brothers also had a perforated metal hood around it. The baked goods at Burny Brothers weren't super fantastic or low priced but they all came in boxes and I thought that machine was really cool.
Here's a video of something more recent:

And another video with a slo-mo of the tying of the knot (this was probably like the one at Burny Brothers):

See, if I'd gotten that kid tool kit with REAL tools but small instead of the kid tools, maybe I would have become a mechanical engineer ?:

Nah ! :)
BTW, eventually they changed the name on the bakery to Entenmann's - I stopped going there.
