Period
POSS. ACQUIRED 1957, USED TO 1982
Canada
THIS IS THE LAST PRESS USED BY THE CNIB TO PRINT BRAILLE IN CANADA. ALL JOB & PUBLICATION BRAILLEPRINTING WAS "CONTRACTED OUT" AFTER 1982.
Function
USED TO PRINT BRAILLE FROM "STEREOTYPED" TO ZINC PLATES.
Technical
THE PRESS EMBODIES TWO IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS: 1) THE MODIFYING OF A JOBBING PLATEN PRESS FOR PRINTING BRAILLE. SUCH MACHINES ARE WELL SUITED TO THIS TYPE OF PRINTING IN THAT MODIFICATION IS COMPARATIVELY MINOR AND ALLOWS FOR EASY MOUNTING OF PLATES AND FEEDING; 2) THE THOMPSON PRESS IS DESIGNED SO THAT THE BED & PLATEN ARE PARALLEL JUST PRIOR TO AND DURING IMPRESSION SO THAT PRESSURE IS STANDARD & STRONG OVER THE WHOLE FORM. THE BED SIZE OF 22 X 14 ALLOWS FOR THE MOUNTING OF TWO STANDARD WIDTH PLATES. THE PLATEN OPENS WIDE TO FACILITATE FEEDING AND DELIVERY.
