Started in the trade in 1971, 77 inch 4 color double delivery, slit the sheet on last impression, I've witnessed a lot of changes, just retired 2024, it never leaves you
I ran single and two color Harris/Aurelia presses in the 1990's. No one ever sang any praises about those heaps, you basically dreaded your job as a pressman. Moved to Heidleberg, and what a difference.
I spent some time on one as a second and it was a handful. But wanted the new press and I was moved. I think that press is still running and that was in the 1978-1979)

Can't imagine handling a sheet that large. 25x38" was big enough for me.

Looks like a Guttenberg
What is that thing?
You had to be a real pressman to run a machine like this, not like the button pushers of today.
iron pressmen and wooden presses
