This acquisition is an example of a jobbing platen press with a documented history of use for small job printing from the 1940s to 1992. Job printing was an important branch of the industry, being responsible for a huge variety of printed matter not produced by the large book, newspaper and commercial printers. This press was owned by the donor who operated a shop, Bill Ellis Job Printing, in the basement of his home in Windsor from 1945 until his death in 1992. The donor learned printing at W.D. Lowe Vocational School in Windsor and purchased his first press at age 16. The donor purchased this press from the Prince Edward Hotel when it closed in the early 1970s. It had been used by the hotel to print menus, flyers and other material related to its operations. Cette acquisition est un exemple d'une presse à platine avec une histoire documenté d'utilisation à impression de petits travaux entre les années 1940s et 1992. Les travaux de ville étaient une partie importante de l'industrie, étant responsable d'une grande variété d'imprimerie qui n'était pas produit par les imprimeurs de grands livres, de journaux et commerciaux. Cette presse appartenait au donateur qui opérait un atelier, Bill Ellis Job Printing, dans le sous-sol de sa maison à Windsor de 1945 jusqu'en 1992, l'année qu'il est décédé. Le donateur a appris le métier d'imprimerie à l'École Technique W.D Lowe à Windsor et il s'est acheté sa première presse à l'âge de 16 ans. Le donateur a acheté cette presse de lorsque l'hôtel Prince Edward a fermé ses portes au début des années 1970. La presse était auparavant utilisé par l'hôtel pour imprimer des menus, des circulaires et autres matériaux reliés à leurs opérations.
Function
Tool used to tighten up screws to an object. Outil utilisé pour serrer et fixer des vises à un objet.
Technical
This is an example of a platen job press, a technology invented in the mid-1800s and persisting in pressrooms and binderies into the 21st century. The most popular design was introduced by George Phineas Gordon in 1856. It consisted of a reciprocating, vertical type bed and platen, automatic inking by means of rollers and a revolving disk, and a hands-free drive via a treadle. This design was later adapted for steam or electric power and an automatic paper feed. Feeding sheets by hand, an operator could turn out 2000 impressions per hour; if feeding by machine, hourly output could rise to 5000 sheets. The Chandler & Price New Series job press, introduced in 1911, was built on the Gordon pattern. C & P continued to build the New Series press until the early 1960s. Based on its serial number, this press was built between 1911 and 1915. Its bed of 12 x 17 inches can accommodate a 10 x 15 inch sheet. This makes it the second-smallest of the four sizes in the C & P New Series line. The press was rebuilt by Brandtjen & Kluge. Done at the B & K factory, this likely consisted of dismantling the press, replacing worn parts, repainting, and reassembling. In addition, it probably added safety features, like the covered spokes on the flywheel and the guards shielding exposed gears. One notable feature of the donor's rebuilt press is a variable speed pulley that allows the operator to slow down or speed up the operation of the press using a lever on the lower right hand side of the press. This may not be an original feature of the C & P New Series press of 1911-1915 vintage. Ceci est un exemple de presse à platine, une technologie qui a été inventée au milieu du 19e siècle et qui continue à persister dans les imprimeries du 21e siècle. Le concept le plus populaire a été introduit par George Phineas Gordon en 1856. Son concept se composait d’un plateau de caractère vertical alternatif, d’un encrage automatique au moyen de rouleaux et d’un disque rotatif. De plus, on y retrouve aussi un entraînement à mains-libres grâce à une pédale. Ce concept a ensuite été adapté pour les presses à vapeurs ou à pouvoir électrique et une alimentation à papier automatique. Avec une machine d’alimentation à main, l’opérateur peut compléter environ 2000 impressions par heures. Par comparaison, avec l’alimentation automatique, on peut compléter environ 5000 impressions par heures. La presse « New Series » de Chandler & Price, introduite en 1911, a été bâtie sous le concept de Gordon. C & P a continué de construire le modèle « New Series » jusqu’au début des années 1960. Basée sur le numéro de série, la presse a été construite entre 1911 et 1915. Son lit d’impression d’une grandeur de 12 à 17 pouces peut accommoder des feuilles d’une grandeur de 10 à 15 pouces. Ceci fait donc que cette presse est la deuxième plus petite des quatre grandeurs dans la ligne « New Series » de C & P. Cette presse a été rebâtie par Brandtjen & Kluge. Ce processus a été fait à l’usine B & K, le travail comprenait de démanteler la presse, remplacer des pièces usées, peinturer et réassembler. De plus, ils ont rajouté des mesures de sécurité comme recouvrir les rayons sur le volant moteur et des protections pour les engrenages exposés. Une fonction notable de la presse du donateur est la poulie à vitesse variable qui permet à l’opérateur de ralentir ou accélérer l’opération de la presse en utilisant un levier sur le côté droit de la presse. Ceci n’a probablement pas été une fonctionnalité originale de la presse C & P New Series venant des années 1911 – 1915.
