The Technology...

The introduction of new technology started for Peter in 1969. Instead of having hot metal, web fed offset lithography was used. This was where the journalists work was keyboarded by a battery of men- which came out as punched tape. This tape would then be fed into another machine which would produce the material that appeared in the actual paper. It was cut and pasted onto sheets of paper. This type of technology had taken off around the country particularly the provincial press as it made financial sense.
