Herald's Enlarged Press Can Print At Rate Of 28,000 Copies an Hour, 24 Pages at a Time! At the printing press itself, the final product of advertising, 'edi-- torial, composing and stereotyping departments culminates in the finished newspaper, ready for de" livery to your doo. The Daily Herald, is printed' on a Goss rotary tubular newspaper press, a roaring, throbbing mon- ster capable of printing 28,000 copies per hour of the, finished newspaper. Busy, its steady motion fills the air with a sense of urgency. It is all movement: rollers whirling, geafs oscillating; newsprint scurrying along, its intricate paths, curving intimately into the folding and cutting mechanism; the finished edition marching triumphantly along the conveyor to the circula: . tion room. Quiet, the hulking stripped of emotion: mass ; sits it is only a machine, after all. It has gears, knobs, switches, oil and grease . . but those who thrill to a powerful machine will respond to this one. It stands about 14 feet above with the floor, part of it rea Into shallow pit beiow cessed floor level. It is about 30 feet long, and weighs an estimated 20 tons. While not exceptionally large as daily newspaper presses go, this one crowded the pressroom in The Daily Herald's old. building and has grown larger in its new location: from its former capacity of a press run,' 'it has been to capacity with expanded unit. new the addition of a Dwarfed by this big machine are the men who run it: Kay Hinckley, press foreman, a lean, dark who has" been with the Herald for 21 years; before that he was a carrier for seven years.

The huge rolls of newsprint 32 inches wjde and 38 inches in diameter and weighing 800 pounds, are rolled from the ' storage room and positioned on the press.
