digitalization machine
Explanation:
This is a machine that sends pages from books through a scanner to digitalize books (usually large numbers of books at a library).
see the links.
although løype her suggests some kind of "run" or rack, it may also refer to the process of moving the books through the system.
I think there are many different machines, some that are run manually, some automated and some where you need to destroy a book to scan the pages...
