Chicago: As the six strike-bound newspapers in this second largest city in the country were completing their second week of publication without printers, keen speculation centered on the production methods brought into play to bypass the idle Linotype machines. While the novelty of looking at seemingly typed news columns was waring off for Chicago's three million readers, publishers throughout the nation were watching intently how the huge plants here were managing to keep rolling without what is normally considered the heart of the publishing trade. For, although issuing printed matter by means of photo-engraving, or offset lithography, is hardly new to the trade, this was its first full-dress test on a major scale and under the constant pressure of rigid deadlines. To learn more of these new techniques, emerging through trial and error in the hothouse of necessity, follow along with us on a pictorial tour, from city desk to newsstand, of The Chicago Daily News, a typical daily here meeting the challenge. Well on its way to press, the completed page layout, having been photographed and engraved, is checked over by Earl MCnamara, apprentice engraver. He is examining prints of sports photographs which are to be engraved and then spotted in their allotted place in the plate of the page. When this is done, the engraving of the finished page will be rushed to the stereotype room. There, a semi-cylindrical stereotype will be cast to fit in the presses. Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 12-03-1947. PHOTO FRONT PHOTO BACK Historic Images Part Number: mjx41689 Sell Smarter with Kyozou.Inventory and Ecommerce Management
