Description

Metal chase with Linotype Slugs from The Shelbyville News. The forme may have been part of the Goss community press system, which was installed in 1973. Its six printing units and balloon folder made it possible to produce a 24-page paper with a capacity of 18,500 copies per hour. Prior to the Goss community press, the office used two sterotype presses twinned together.
