OHHHHHHHH so there was a gutter and rather than have two lines of perfs, they split the difference and used one. Thank you!!!!

Mitch just uploaded a few pages of his Bermuda, and one of his Vickies has an enormous left margin. Does anyone know why or how a stamp gains such margins? Are they from the first row and the perfs are shifted over on that row? I had alway pictured perforators as grids perfing an entire sheet at one time so I'm trying to visualize how one row could be shifted over so far. If the perfs were done one row at a time I could understand it, but I can't imagine any manufacturing process where single row perfs could be done economically. Unless the paper was fed forward under a perf comb one row at a time? That just doesn't seem like smart engineering.
