I know a guy that "frankenheimered" two of em together end to end, into a press just slightly under a city block in length. LOL! We had an unloader back in that day that had to grab a roll of box tape at the start of every shift and tape down her "upper half". If not, there would be two large, vertical smudges down every shirt she pulled off that press. Good times!

My boss' first was a four color, which we did our fist 4c Process on, and we made our own first flash unit (before they were commercially available) that fit into it so we could overprint a glow in the dark ink... ah, memories...

My buddy that could of beat me was too scared to compete and just sat and watched.
Still have my G&S. We used to prop up the ping pong table on an angle to skate up and
around on in the driveway. The good old days... Still want to ride it at 50, but finding time,
or thinking foolish probably.
