Sickness and Death
In the summer of 1924 Bull was diagnosed with cancer, a disease that ended with his life, on 7 June 1925, when Bull was only 42 years old.
Despite the diagnosis of the summer of 1924, Bull continued to work until the aggravation he suffered in the fall of that year.

Its patent rights were acquired by Oka, where Knutsen, loyal to the ideas of Bull, continued the expansion of the machine and the company. Knutsen focused on new machines to obtain the results recorded on paper forms, sorted numerically and alphabetically. He was the first to use printing wheels methods.
