Finally captured the funky Vandercook #24 in operation. It is hand inked and the trip/print function managed through massive bumpers on each end (see the carriage ca-chunk down as it moves to the end). Paper is fed through an angled feedboard into open-and-waiting-yet-rudimentary grippers. The freshly printed page delivers face down back on the feedboard unless you grab it. It’s a beast, but @write.253 has made great friends with Spartan and it’s a joy to see this press in use. We printed a Bootleggers’ Pangram (all the letters in the alphabet) for @washingtonhistory visitors. The Line Break Press is open for this Saturday’s train festival: come check it out. #daredevilpress #letterpress #preservationthrougheducation (at Washington State History Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Tj1S4heJw/?igshid=1rdtrentu6bw9
