Abstract
A PAPER on stereo plate casting published in the Electrical Review of March 8 gives a survey of the progress made in the application of electric heating to autoplate machines for the production of stereo plates for rotary printing presses. For several years past much has been done in the United States, and pioneer work in England took place so long ago as 1930 at the Daily Mail offices in Manchester, where four electrically heated autoplate machines loaded at 120 kilowatts each represented, it is claimed, the first electric printing works foundry in Europe. The next major move was not until about a year ago, when Allied Newspapers Ltd. decided to electrify completely the autoplate installation at their Manchester offices.
