New Book Press
Installed for Local
Publishing Plant
Installation was completed yes
terday on the new Kelly Three
printing press in the Theo. Da
vis Sons plant, and this issue of
the Zebulon Record is the first
newspaper to be printed on the
modern press. The installation is
the sixth major item of equipment
to be added to the plant in recent
years, and is the first automatic
cylinder press to be purchased.
The $20,000 press will he used
for newspapers and books. It has
a top speed of 3,500 impressions
an hour, and is equipped with non
offset equipment and a gas heater
to assist in drying the ink.
The press was built by Vickers-
Armstrong in England from Amer
ican Type Founders plans and
specifications. The ATF factory,
unable to supply the American
market with the limited amount
of steel allotted by the govern
ment for printing presses, con
tracted the presses to the famed
English manufacturers for deliv
ery to American printers.
All electrical equipment is
American made.
The installation took on an in
ternational aspect when the Eng
lish-built press was installed by
Ron Buchanan, a native of Can
ada. The work required nearly
three weeks.
Other Equipment
The claim of the Zebulon print
ers that they have the “most mod
ern small town printing plant in
America” was confirmed by rep
resentatives of American Type
Founders, builders of the press.
“We seldom see a plant as com
pletely modern as Theo. Davis
Sons, even in major cities,” Rich
ard Hundley and Ron Buchanan
reported.
Other major items of equipment
installed in the Theo. Davis Sons
plant during the past five years
include a Linotype, Ludlow cast
ing machine, Elrod strip caster,
Baum automatic folder, Multilith
press, and Monomelt metal planer.
