 On the day that John Sullivan (the president of PCBA) mentioned to me that this year is the 100 anniversary of the Vandercook proofing press and that he’s getting together an article celebrating the anniversary for an upcoming Ampersand, I saw a link to this nifty paper-folded printing press. It sort of looks like a Vandercook (it’s actually a “Korrex Newspaper Printing Machine”) And best of all the bed of the press has locked-up type and there’s a printed two-up spread on the feedboard. I’ve download it and have it mostly cut out — I’ll put it together after supper tonight.
