Hello all,

The site for the group that is continuing the work of Jean Pain is 
the following: http://www.jean-pain.com/index_ang.htm

The shredders specifically designed to shred along the grain are 
available through this company. However, it is located in France. But 
you can order the book on-line and the website, albeit not very good 
is in French and English. You may want to contact the company to 
inquire about the availability of these types of shredders in the Americas.

Jerome
