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. Doctors did not give any hope, and he, aware of his fate left the work done. In the last few days he shared his latest ideas with Knutsen, the responsible to continue his work. 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.

Famous quotes containing the words sickness and/or death:
“To her, my lord,
Was I betrothed ere I saw Hermia;
But like a sickness did I loathe this food.
But, as in health come to my natural taste,
Now I do wish it, love it, long for it,
And will for evermore be true to it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And of the other things death is a new office building filled with modern furniture,
A wise thing, but which has no purpose for us.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
