I saw this color laser HP printer at work some years ago where the toner cartridges were in this “Ferris Wheel” apparatus and were moved to the paper, rather than the paper moving past them.
I couldn’t believe it even worked for a week.

I’ve always been a big fan of a variation of this for hiring for skilled entry-level jobs, though it is hit-and-miss getting management on board.
Specifically, the process and reasoning is that, in many cases, a new hire is not a good company fit either for personality, work ethic, or skill requirement reasons, so hiring just enough workers almost always ends in there still being not enough. Instead, I find that hiring a surplus of temp-to-hire people allows you to select from a larger candidate pool, then only bring on permanently the people that make the best fit from that group.
It costs slightly more up front, but eliminates prolonged manpower shortages and lengthy on boarding, which often cost more over time, and instead of that money going directly to waste, it is “wasted” on temporarily employing people that might otherwise have remained jobless for those 90 days.
