Completing Installation
Now Printing Transylvania
Times On Goss Comet Press
After weeks of planning and preparation, The
Transylvania Times is this week printed on its new
press, which is a Goss Comet press.
A1 Tabor, of the Goss company, Chicago, Illi
nois, has been here for the past week completing
the installation of this modern press, which is sim
ilar to the ones used by the daily newspapers of
the country. .
Prior to a breakdown some five weeks ago,
The Times was printed on a “flatbed” press at a
slow rate of speed.
The Goss Comet Press prints eight pages at one
time, twice the number of a “flatbed”, at a rate of
more than 3,000 per hour.
Since this is the first issue of The Times on the
Goss, there are a few flaws that will be corrected in
subsequent issues. Precision adjustments will take
a little time.
With the new press, The Times will be able to
better serve this growing community, Editor John
Anderson declares.
Look for pictures of the new press in operation
in next week’s issue.
