A printing plant, equipped with the machines and materials mentioned in the foregoing, could be classed as ideal. It would be adapted to any kind of printing which may come to the paper box manufacturing plant. The 10 × 15 and 12 × 18 Chandler & Price presses, fitted with automatic feeders, would be capable of handling long runs of wrappers at high speed, while the Hartford (or John Thomson) press would be engaged on fine color work, embossing, etc., and the Pony cylinder press could be used for larger work, printing cartons, two or more wrappers together on one sheet, and so forth.
Steel composing-room equipment has been suggested because of its great durability and improved design, but hard-wood printers’ furniture, like that made by the Hamilton Manufacturing Company, of Two Rivers, Wis., and the Kramer Woodworking Company, of Philadelphia, will serve just as well as steel equipment in the average printing office. On pages Nos. 161 and 162 are illustrations, showing front and back views of the Tracy Type Cabinets (Hamilton Manufacturing Co.) which are very popular in many composing-rooms.
