Where I grew up, there were two-ring binders, three-ring binders, and four-ring binders.
Two-ring binders clamped at the top of the sheet.
Three-ring binders clamped at the left side of the sheet.
Four-ring binders were plastic instead of metal, and were a geared mechanical slider. One brand was the Trapper Keeper. ("Trappers" being the folders that matched them.)
At some point, the plastic four-ring binders switched to three rings to match the holes pre-punched in the loose leaf paper. But you could still get paper with 2+4 and 3+4 holes pre-punched in the left side that would fit multiple binder configurations.
