IMPOSING TABLES.

The new-style imposing tables are made from both steel and wood. Both the steel and wood imposing tables have planed steel tops. These tables come in various sizes, and they are made in different styles so far as the arrangement of drawers, galley-slides, letter boards, chase racks, and lock-up furniture is concerned. The following illustrations of a No. 4040 Hamilton Imposing table, made of hard-wood with a steel top, shows the back and front views of the table. Note the arrangement of the printers’ labor-saving wood furniture, letter-boards, galley shelves, chase rack and drawers:

The time-saving advantages of an imposing table of this design should be apparent to any intelligent person. With a table equipped like this one, with labor-saving furniture, letter-boards, etc., the imposition man can lock-up form after form without finding it necessary to walk away from the table for lock-up material. On the letter-boards are kept standing “live” forms ready for repeat orders. Hundreds of small, live jobs are also kept standing on the galleys. As the forms are locked up for the presses the chases are placed in the chase rack, and from there the pressman takes them.
