This
was a flat bed printing press- The Finchley press published none
and a half thousand papers a week and it went to press on Tuesday
midday with half of the paper.
Now
that ahh-shoong-doonk was every time a sheet of paper fed by a little
old man with a huge pile of sheets, single sheets of paper, pushing
them through an old flat bed machine. They were very very large
sheets of paper. I think that they would on recollection have represented
the size of four broadsheet pages.
It
printed from midday on Tuesday till midday Wednesday one side of
the paper so you would have perhaps page 1, page 3, page 5 and whatever
the appropriate ones that married up with them on one side of the
paper.
