What a gem! I spied two letter presses, two wire stitchers, page trimmer, and a large paper cutter. There's probably a proof press in there somewhere as well. Interesting to note that the two large platen presses are belt-driven. At 5:57 you can see the drive pulley on the ceiling for the #2 press, and at 6:27 near the ceiling directly to the right of the window straight ahead you can see the massive AC motor above the #1 press. Somewhere a canvas belt goes under the floor and underneath the #1 press in the corner, because the drive belt comes up out of the floor. The third machine (to the right at 4:05) is one I'm unsure of. The lyres at the top are throwing me off, and it's not a machine I've encountered before. Its location in an apparent finishing area where binding and trimming takes place it may be a folding machine, but I've not seen one like this. Could also be a playbill press. EDIT: I've learned that this is a Golding #8 Jobber printing press. They were operated by means of a foot pedal. The press here is partially disassembled, and is missing its ink plate and the ink rollers. Fascinating bit of history, and noteworthy in that everything is movable type, and the shop never upgraded to linotype. Most likely the volume of work didn't justify the expense of a linotype along with the pig-maker you'd need to go along with it. Yet the presence of two wire stitchers (on the table on the left at 3:13) indicates they printed booklets, which is a LOT of work to produce with movable (free) type. I used to hang out in a letterpress shop when I was in high school, and a couple of times got to run the Heidelberg windmill press, and also was taught how to set up a chase, as well as the adventure of sorting a completed (thankfully small!) job back into the typecase. The printer was kind and gave me a job that needed to be sorted into a case that had the compartments marked. Most weren't and you had to know the case layout to know which letter went where! I also learned the difference between an en space and an em space, as well as en and em dashes. Also dingbats. A note on the construction: underneath the floor below each press will be a concrete or heavy stone foundation to support the immense weight (about 1200#) of each press. This may also be why a Linotype was never put in: it would have required adding a foundation block to accommodate the 3,200lb weight of a Linotype! The railroad switch lock on the front door is intriguing.

Thank you, Thurlow. I looked up dingbats and I've always loved them but didn't know their name. Seems like using dingbat as an insult to someone is contrary. I tried an image search with the unknown machine and it didn't find anything. Maybe a printer with a little more knowledge will let us know.

I love places like this and even though they are long since used, they still have that feel about them, that feeling of a busy and productive working area from a bygone age. Imagine the tales this place could tell if only those walls could speak. So many people find these places eerie and creepy, but i like to think of them as just quietly resting, from a long life of toil and labour.

For awesome snippet of history of how things go printed back many years ago. I couldn't believe there was 3 or 4 printing machines still sitting in there. Like they just closed and locked the door after work one day and it's been like that ever since. Very neat to see.

That pipe sticking out the side of the building was likely for a hand washing sink. Typically it would just go into the ground and be surrounded by a few rocks because it was only seeing a few gallons per use. Very common when indoor plumbing was a new thing. They are usually galvanized and threaded in the early days.
