The Printery

Welcome to The Printery!

Head journalist uses the workspace upstairs to research, write articles and report using her wits and typewriter. Her trade is information which she has to seek regularly outside of the premises. She uses the cart for both gathering and distributing information. 

The printer uses the information given to him by the head journalist to assemble plates using the various trays of type. This forms the raised negative image of the final newspaper. He inserts the finished plate into the press, inks up his rollers and uses the mechanics of the press to transfer the ink to paper. 

Manning the steamer through a slide door is the technician for the press. His job is to ensure the press operates with minimal disruption. This involves stoking the coal fire under the boiler, maintaining boiler pressure, lubricating machinery and repair work.
