DIVISION OF PERSONNEL 

The continued heavy workload again resulted in an increase in 

full-time employment. To stimulate recruitment in a number of key 

positions, we continued to place want ads in the newspapers in principal 

cities throughout the country. 

To improve our methods of participation in the Federal Merit 

Pro100tion Plan with respect to the evaluation and selection of employees 

for the helper pay plans, a schedule of non-competitive tests was 

arranged with the assistance of the Civil Service Commission. Tests 

were also given for a number of clerical positions. 

To comply with the provisions of Executive Order 10987, 

Administrative Order No. 209 was published. This order outlines the 

rights of each employee should adverse action be taken against him. 

Although the Government Printing Office is in the legislative 

branch and is not governed by the provisions of Executive Order 10988, 

"Employee Management Relationships," it is the desire of the Office to 

comply with the intent of the order. Therefore, Administrative Order 

No. 209 and Personnel Bulletin No. 133 were issued outlining the steps 

employee organizations should take in order to request recognition. 

Training courses offered on an interagency basis have been 

steadily increasing in number and variety. 

A Supervisor of Apprentice Training was appointed to coordinate 

this program. 

Classification surveys have been completed or are in progress in 

the Tests and Technical Control Division, the Open Market and Contract 

Section, Division of Finance and Accounts, and the Division of Personnel. 

Also in the laboring, trade, and craft areas a number of recommendations 

have been made affecting pay problems. 

Treatments in the Medical Section numbered 27,943. The program 

has been continued to provide tetanus toxoid and influenza immunizations 

to all employees who so desired them. 

DIVISION OF FINANCE AND ACCOUNTS 

The Division of Finance and Accounts is responsible for all 

fiscal and legal matters. This includes the handling of finances; 

accounting; bookkeeping; cost recording and accounting; current cost

The Division is also responsible for all budget work; studies 

in connection with rates and the scale of prices for work performed, 

and the current readjustment of such rates; the compilation of costs of 

each printing job as the work progresses through the plant; audit of 

payrolls; administration of the annual and sick leave laws and regulations; 

accounting for and preparation of reports with reference to retirement, 

health and life insurance deductions; preparation of financial, cost, and 

statistical statements and reports for the use of the Government Printing 

Office in general, as well as the Joint Committee on Printing, the Treasury 

Department, the General Accounting Office, the Civil Service Commission, 

the Bureau of' the Budget, and the Congress; the performance of all functions nec~ssary in connection with the administrative processing of claims for 

and against the Government Printing Office; and the rendering of decisions 

and the furnishing of advice with respect to the applicability of the laws. 

The Division is under the supervision of the Comptroller of the 

Government Printing Office and is organized as follows: 

Administrative Section (Office of Comptroller) 

Appropriation Accounting and Auditing Section 

Payroll and Time Records Section 

Electronic Data Processing (and Cost Accounting) Section 

Billing and Collecting Section 

Composition Measuring Section 

Computing (and General Files) Section

PURCHASING DmSION 

The dollar value of Purchasing Division procurement activity 

amounted to $79,721,859.74, an increase of $3 1 268,455.83, or about 4.1 

percent over last year. The breakdown is as follows: Commercial 

Printing, $44,197 ,891.00; paper, envelopes, and cartons, $281 310,524.59; 

materials and supplies, $3,559,031.60; machinery and equipment, $1,473,585.16; 

and other miscellaneous services including transportation, communications, 

travel, etc., $2,180,827.39. 
ms 000-101 FY1963 05/10/2013

-3-

A part of this upward trend is represented by an increase of 

about $1,644,587.00 in the procurement of commercial printing; an increase 

of about $861 878.00 in the procurement of paper, envelopes, and cartons; 

an increase of about $7321 818.00 in materials and supplies; an increase 

of about $423,055.00 in·machinery and equipment; and an increase of about 

$381,119.00 in services, transportation, communication and travel. 

The primary functions of the Specifications Section are the 

planning of work and preparation of bid specifications and coat estimates 

for various printing products to be procured from commercial sources. 

During Fiscal 1963, this section processed 16,976 jackets, 3,063 print 

orders, 9,921 specifications, and prepared 20,435 cost estimates. 

Specifications were written for approximately 250 term contracts and 12 

special term contracts including tabulating cards and continuous marginally 

punched forms. 

During Fiscal 1963, the Printing Procurement Section processed 

591 902 printing jobs having an approximate value of $42,517 1022.26. This 

was made up of 10,309 jobs valued at $211 196,509.53 procured by individual 

bidding, and 49,593 jobs procured on our various term contracts. The 

estimated value of the term contract orders was $21,320,512.73. 

Tonnage of paper purchased decreased from 215,859,045 pounds in 

1962 to 2001 191,189 pounds in 1963, a decrease of 15,667,856 pounds. 

Paper prices showed an average decline of about 1.367 percent in 

each of the first three quarters, with a slight increase of about 1/2 of 

one percent for the fourth quarter. There was a cumulative price decline 

of approximately 4.045 percent for the entire period covered by this report. 

The average paper inventory was 41,652,034 pounds, an increase 

of approximately 6,531,691 pounds from the average of the previous year. 

This figure includes about 5, 760,229 pounds in the plants of commercial prin~ers, but does not include an average of about 31 623 1 96o on hand waiting 

release by the Division of Tests and Technical Control. The high point of 

paper inventory was 47,275,401 pounds on Februar,r 15, 19631 and the low 

point was 36,635,427 pounds on August 17, 1962. 

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1963, the workload of 

the Stores Section showed a continuing increase in volume. The section 

handled 3, 778 carloads and appro:ximately 1,500 truckloads of paper weighing 

approximately 117,967 tons. In addition, 162 million envelopes and 3.7 

million knocked-down boxes or cartons were received. Approximately 71,000 

pieces of miscellaneous material were received via parcel post and motor 

frllignt. Shipments of printed matter and blank paper to out-of-town 

destinations reached a new high of 82,168,336 pounds. Shipments of waste 

paper increased over 7 percent and reached an all-time high of 161 775,705 

pounds. 

The incoming telephone traffic, including local, long distance, 

information, and miscellaneous, averages 550 calls per hour during the 
ms 000-101 FY1963 05/10/2013

-4-

peak periods. The out-going local calls consisted of a total of 262,207 

message-units a~ a cost of $9,793.03. Long distance calls increased to 

9,164 at a cost of $15,203.50. A total of 13,320 messages were received 

and transmitted over the Teleprinters at a cost of $13,553.05, an increase 

in cost of $1,926.24 over Fiscal 1962. 

MAINTENANCE DIVISION 

The Maintenance Division was increased to eight sections during 

the past fiscal year with the addition of the Industrial Cleaning Section. 

A Mechanical Engineer was added to the Office of Plant Engineer staff and 

an additional Assistant Chief Electrician was appointed to the Electrical 

Section. 

The engineering office designed and engineered the expansion of our cental air-conditioning system for offices for the Printing Procurement 

Section and Accounting Division and for the new web offset press area, 

An investigation of our compressed air system was made to determine 

the actual compressed air requirements of production equipment. It was found 

that about 50 percent of the air compressed was being lost by a multitude of 

minor leaks in machinery. A program to correct this condition is now in 

progress. 

A program to replace five obsolete and unsafe (by modern practice) 

metal-melting pots was begun during the year. 

During the past year, several new offices were constructed and 

others altered in order to relieve some of our overcrowded conditions. In 

all of these construction jobs the engineering staff worked with future 

occupants to design a modern and functional spce, and then all of the 

Maintenance sections were involved in performing their particular phase of 

the installation. 

The division installed 56 new machines with the engineering staff 

and the Maintenance sections each performing their phase of the work. Among 

the more important of these installations were the two 25 X 38 offset web 

presses, the coil binding machine, two wrap-around rotary presses, and a master etch machine to make the plates; three automatic linecasting machines 

and two high-speed envelope presses. We are now in the process of ~nstallirg 

a 35" x 50~ web offset press. 

The more important function of the Maintenance Division is the 

maintenance of the production machinery and equipment and the buildings 

structure and equipment in order to most efficiently produce Government 

printing and binding. The Building, Carpenter, Electrical, Machine, Paint, 

Pipe and Sheet Metal Sections were the ones principally involved in this work 

and completed almost'40,000 calls for service. The Power Section furnished 

and operated all the utilities required for the operation of the plant, and 

the new Industrial Cleaning Section was responsible for the cleanliness of the 

buildings during the past year, as well as operating the incinerator and 

performing the many odd jobs required in good housekeeping.

Of 161,535,482 envelopes received during the year, 3,147,405 were rejected, principally for unsatisfactory gumming. 

The Division manufactured 2191 333 pounds of printing inks, 

including at~ pad, toning blue, numbering machine, and mimeograph inks; 

standardized 13,813,012 pounds of type metal; manufactured 1,570 press 

rollers requiring 121 790 pounds of composition; and produced 146,360 

pounds of molded glue; 141,473 pounds of other adhesives; 11 340 gallons 

of silver nitrate solution and 11 340 gallons of reducer solution for 

silver spraying operations. 

Innumerable specifications for paper, envelopes, materials, and 

supplies were prepared or revised to keep them up to date. In addition, 

the Division conducted tests and research on the use of supplies, and 

cooperated with the various Federal establishments in the testing and 

developing of processes and materials necessary for their use. 

OOCUMENTS DIVISION 

In fiscal year 1963, the amount of sales of Government publications 

increased to an all~time high of $111 297,748.06. From this sale, earnings 

for return to the u.s. Treasury were $5,731,791.17. The 1963 appropriation for all functions performed by the Office of the Superintendent of 

Documents was $4,759,530. 

Printing amounting to $5,706,240 was ordered from the Government 

Printing Office by the Superintendent of Documents. 

The annual inventory showed 27,303 individual titles available 

for sale as of June 30, 1963. 

The number of mailing lists maintained was 11 232 containing 21 531,140 addresses. 

A total of 55,999 publications were catalogued by the Library. 

Distribution of 5,8171 058 copies of publications was made to

FIELD SERVICE DIVISION 

The Field Service Division, with offices located in Chicago, Denver, 

New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D, c., performed services 

valued at $5,463,778,13 for 65 different Federal Departments during Fiscal Year 

1963. The Interior Department became the largest customer of the Field Service 

Division during Fiscal Year 1963, increasing their requirements in every Field 

Service Division office. Army, our previous No, 1 customer, decreased their 

requirements by $192,000.00, or 28 percent. The Post Office continued to be our second best customer, followed by Army and Treasury, 

The Chicago Field Service Office, with an average of 105 employees, billed $1,266,626,80 to .30 Government Departments, The largest user of the 

services of this office continued to be the Post Office. The Denver Field 

Service Office produced work for 2l Departments, amounting to $734,797.01 in 

billed value, of which the Department of the Interior continued to reouire the 

majority of its production. The average number of personnel in the Denver 

office increased from 49 during Fiscal Year 1963. As in Fiscal Year 1962, 

sufficient space for work operations continues to be a problem due to the 

continued increase in work volume, and according to the Public Buildings Service 
ms 000-101 FY1963 05/10/2013

-8-

of the General Services Administration, no immediate relief is envisioned 

because of lack of available Government-owned space in the Denver area. 

In Washington, D,C., the Departmental Service Office utilizing an average of 268 employees billed &214051 067,23 to 61 local Departments, the 

largest of which were the Departments of the Treasury, State, and Air Force, 

Relocation plans for the Departmental Service Office received a setback in 

July 1962 when the Fine Arts Commission would not approve the design for a building which was proposed to be erected at 2nd and D Streets, s.w., and the 

site had to be abandoned, Several sites were subsequently considered and a 

decision reached in January of 1963 that the GPO would have no objection to a site at the Naval Weapons Plant. The end of the fiscal year saw an initial 

meeting with GSA architects and GPO officials which set forth an amendment to 

the previous architectural contract so that plans could be developed for the new site, 

The New York Field Service Office with an average of 23 personnel 

billed $328,786,06 to 28 Departments, the largest of which continued to be 

Treasury. 28 Departments were serviced by the San Francisco Field Service 

Office with total billings amounting to $254, 385.o6. An average of 17 

employees were employed by that Office, and its largest user was the Department 

of the Interior, In Seattle the Air Force continued to be their largest 

customer. A total of 26 Departments accounted for billings in the amount of 

$320,101.46, produced by an average of 19 people,

PLANNING DIVISIONS 

DIVISION OF PLANNING SERVICE 

During this fiscal year we received 1131 886 orders compared to 

109,112 received during fiscal year 1962, or an increase of 4.3 percent. In 

fact, it was the greatest number of orders received during any one of the 

past 10 years. 

A significant 19.4 percent fewer waivers were issued this fiscal 

year than last year and 40.3 percent fewer than were issued in fiscal year 

1961. This is in keeping with the policy of the Office and indicates a careful scrut~ of requisitions received. It naturally added to the workload 

of this Division and particularly to that of the Division of Purchases because 

nearly all of these additional jobs were of a specialized nature which could 

not be produced in the Office because of lack of suitable equipment. 

In past years approximately 20 waivers were issued against open 

requisitions for cold type composition services and sequential card 

composition (including film negatives) services. Several hundred individual 

jobs were procured each year under these waivers. During the latter part of 

this fiscal year this Office entered into contracts to provide these services.

A brief summation of work volume processed by Plant Planning is 

presented as follows: 

During the fiscal year approximately 16,165 jackets were production 

planned. Approximately 8,331 of these jackets were handled twice in that they were production planned in part when originally presented, as proofs were requested, and completed when proofs were returned.

In fiscal 1963, 28,413 formal estimates for printing and binding 

requisitions and print orders were prepared for departmental orders. Also 

prepared were 2,313 informal estimates for Congress, Superintendent of 

Documents, and the various departments, and estimated copy sufficient to make 

708 pages in the Congressional Record appendix. The line and page count 

performed on Congressional hearings, the cost of which is recovered through 

direct charges to Congress, amounted to 106,632 25-line pages counted. As 

required by law, sales prices were developed on 81 807 new and reprint 

publications offered for sale by Superintendent of Documents. A total of 223 

specifications and purchase requests were prepared for printing of 769,280 

maps by Coast and GeodetiQ Survey and Army Map Service for use in the 

publications of the various governmental departments, 

A total of 39,326 jackets were prepared for printing and binding 

requisitions and print orders during the fiscal year, Approximately 8,505 of 

these jackets were handled at least twice in that they were prepared only in 

part when originally processed, as proofs were requested, and completed when 

proofs were returned, Also pre~red were 987 ~openrr jackets for work to be 

performed during the next fiscal year. 

During the fiscal year approximately 27,715 jackets were scheduled 

and sent into production. Approximately 8,331 of these jackets called for 

return proofs, which required two or more schedulings, dependent on the 

number of times proofs were sent to the departments. Copies of these jackets 

and others not scheduled, and other media such as memorandums, letters, etc., were made on the rerox machine, and totaled 224,161 copies. 

Delivery schedules were initiated on 3,527 purchase requests for 

200,191,189 pounds of paper in flat sheets and rolls; 14,2141 823 sheets and 

pieces of miscellaneous items; 155,699,919 envelopes; and 3,000,982 cartons of 

various kinds and sizes. These requests were for purchases on the regular 

quarterly contracts and the open market. In addition, a total of 760 requests were initiated for special purchase of 17,821,351 pounds of paper in flat 

sheets and rolls; 2,735,963 envelopes; 477,537 cartons; and 1,739,989 sheets 

and pieces of miscellaneous items, The number of Stores orders prepared for 

commercial programs and jackets totaled 2,913. Commercial specifications 

totaling 2,189 required the typing of 4,876 requisitions for paper, etc., and 

map orders required the typing of 233 requisitions. Field Service requisitions 

processed for paper, etc., toaled 2,333. A total of 15,763 jackets for blank 

paper and miscellaneous supplies were prepared and scheduled in accordance with 

department requisitions and purchase orders. 

DIVISION OF TYPOGRAPHY AND DESIGN 

A greatly increased program of services covering planning, design, 

and manufacture of printing was attempted in fiscal year 1963 through 

conferences with departmental representatives. Basically, this effort was 

directed toward providing design and technical consultation to improve the 

quality and production of work for our customer agencies.

PRODUCTION DIVISIONS 

CONGRESSIONAL PRINTING 

Fiscal i963 was a year of increase in the CoQ.gressional workload. 

The second session of the 87th Congress did not adjourn until October 13~ 1962; 

the final issue of the Record was printed on November 2; and the first Budget 

copy was received on November 16. 

The Congressional Record is, of course, our most important 

responsibility. This year the Record totaled 30,556 pages and averaged 168 

pages per issue for 182 issues. This is comparable to the previous year, when 

the total was 301 396 pages and the average was 171.7 pages for 177 issues. 

Again, 19 of these issues were 256 pages or larger. The largest issue during 

the year was 364 pages and it was printed in two parts for the session of 

March 28, 1963. There were four issues of 48 pages, and these were the smallest 

Records printed during the year. 

Bill work shows a considerable increase this year, due in part to the 

large number introduced during the opening deys of the 88th Congress. The 

number of prints increased from 14,558 last year to 19,715 this year. 

Letterpress forms increased from 111 256 to 13,28.3 and offset forms from 1,814 

to 21 355. Pages set increased from 61,278 to 71,999; pages picked up from 

9,809 to 13,480. 

The volume of other Congressional work accomplished is indicated by 

the following: The Proof Section read 806,487 galleys this year compared with 

770,948 galleys last year; the Hand Section imposed 65,232 forms, a decline 

from 68,893 forms llnposed last year; 102,528 reproduction proofs were furnished the Offset Division compared with 98,818 furnished last year. 

THE BUDGET 

The Budget this fiscal year increased from 368 pages to 400 pages; 

the Appendix, which is now the "big book" 1 increased from 1,172 pages to 1,195 

pages. The Composing Division processed 9,639 folios this year compared with 

11,046 folios last year. Although there were fewer folios of copy received, 

the various Budget items required 1,763 pages of type this year, an increase 

from the 1,707 pages of last. year. The Budget requisitions called for 18 

separate items which consi$ted of the Budget, the Appendix to the Budget, a combined Budget-Appendix volume, the District of Columbia Budget, the Budget in 

Brief, the Budget Message of the President, and several Special Analyses. The 

size and complexity of the many separate items required very close .cooperation 

in all divisions in order to meet the very tight schedule requested by the 

Bureau of the Budget. 
ms 000-101 FY1963 05/10/2013

ELECTRONIC PRINTING 

Considerable progress was made during the year in the area of 

electronic printing techniques. On March 11, 1963, two Linofilm keyboards 

and a photo unit were placed in experimental production. Seven Operators were placed in training on the keyboard and four machinists received a month's training in maintenance at the factory. Some 480,000 ems of 

composition were keyboarded and processed on the photo unit by the end of 

the fiscal year. A Linofilm 15-level magnetic tape to paper tape converter was also placed in experimental production during March 1963. A 154-page 

booklet, the '~aster of Attorneys Registered to Practice Before the U. s. 

Patent Office", was processed on this converter and the photo unit. Three 

Friden LCC-S paper tape perforators were placed in production during April. 

Seven Operators have received training on these machines and 1,9201 000 ems of 

measurable composition were perforated on this equipment by the close of 

fiscal year 1963. 

Three high-speed tape-operated hot-metal slug machines were installed 

during May 1963. These machines were only partially operated by tape 

application, but will be totally operated by tapes as soon as acceptable tapes are available. 

BINDING DIVISION 

Production activities of the Binding Division continued at a consistently high level over the past year, as might be expected since this 

unit, in one w~ or another, processes the end-products of all production 

divisions. The installation of several web presses with folding capabilities was reflected in Pamphlet Section operations which showed a definite gain in 

gathering and inserting production and a slight decline in folding. Cutting 

in both the Blank Section and Cutting and Packing showed a sizable increase, 

while passport production rose from 988,884 books in 1962 to 1,105,037 in 1963. 

Bindery employee strength as of June 30, 1963, was 1,355 as compared 

with 1,349 as of July 1, 1962, with a measured turnover of 16 plus percent. 

The Income Tax was the_largest single program processed by the 

Bindery during the year. Over one~half billion forms of various formats, and 

varying from 4 to 64 pages, were produced and delivered. (The Bindery 

processed 749,697,969 copies in 1963 as opposed to 542,7o6,028 copies in 1962). 

Congressional work handled by the Pamphlet Section, including the 

Congressional Record, the Congressional Record Index, the Federal Register, 

and bills, speeches, and documents, was unusually heavY for the fiscal year, 

exceeding by 347,847 bindery units and 1,7051 900 pages even the record year 

of 1962. 

Modernization of a sizable number of bindery operations was accomplished during this fiscal year through replacement of obsolete equipment. 

Of notable interest was the installation of a Bielomatik wire binding notebook 

machine which manufactured 546,874 stenographer notebooks during the last 

quarter of the fiscal year. 
ms 000-101 FY1963 05/10/2013

-14-

COMPOSING DIVISION 

The demand for composition in fiscal 1963 reached a new high. At 

the same time, overtime hours were reduced in spite of these increased 

requirements, primarily due to the establishment of a third shift in the 

Linotype Section. During the year, 65,6821 825 more ems of measurable type 

matter were set than in 1962. Gross ems of type matter for fiscal 1962 and 

1963 are offered for comparison below: 

Gross ems in 1962 ••••••• 2,729,192,800 

Gross ems in 1963 ••••••• 2,794,875,625 

The over-all requirements of the Congress and other departments 

made it necessary to have 73,585 folios of manuscript converted to composition 

b,y commercial contractors. This is a reduction over the 1962 figure of nearly 

19 percent, which may be attributed to the extra shift in Linotype. All of 

this composition is prepared b,y the Proof Section before being sent out. 

As of June 30, 1963, division manning shows an increase of 41 

employees from 1,553 to 1,594. The Government Printing Office-directed 

apprentice system continues to supply replacements for a portion of the 

Division's personnel losses, but this program would have to be substantially 

expanded to meet minimum requirements for journeyman replacement in the 

Composing Division. 

The program for reducing patent backlog continued at an increased 

rate for the first seven months of this fiscal year. During this period the 

Department released 341 581 patents for an average issue of 1,115. However, 

this pace was slowed to an average issue of 922 for the balance of the year, 

when applications approved for final fees became cUl•rent. 

A total of 53,958 patents were printed in fiscal 1963 for a record 

annual issue. 

LETTI!liPRESS DIVISION 

Production declined somewhat over the past year, with 8.4 percent 

fewer chargeable hours indicated. Significant also was the reduction in 

overtime hours. In Fiscal Year 1963 a decrease of 36 percent was experienced 

throughout the Division. These trends are attributed, in part, to the 

acquisition of several items of newer and faster equipment. Specifically, two new Halm Jet Presses which, with their double-feed system, are capable of 

producing 72,000 envelopes per hour. Overtime required to produce the millions 

of envelopes required by the Congress and other agencies has been virtually 

eliminated. The purchase and installation of a new automatic die-stamping 

press has also contributed to this sizable reduction in bonus hours. 
ms 000-101 FY1963 05/10/2013

-15-

A rate change from 3¢ to 4¢ for postal cards was responsible for a major changeover and replating of the postal-card presses. This took place in 

November 1962, and a stockpile of one billion postal cards was produced b,y 

January 1963, when the new cards went on sale. The Postal Card Section produced a total of 2,666,613,000 postal cards for the year, plus 28,663,000 11¢ 

Aerograms. 

Personnel turnover rate was down somewhat to 15 percent. Rate of 

detail for journeymen to other divisions has slackened somewhat over the past 

year, and hence has permitted greater flexibility in movement of craftsmen 

within the Division to handle peak workloads. 

Two new 25 x 38-inch wraparound presses were installed in January 1963 

and have continued to show their worth. A versatile 13 x 18-inch Heidelberg 

platen press was installed in the Job Unit, and its productivity and flexibility 

have proved the wisdom of this purchase. 

OFFSET DIVISION 

The Offset Division continued to show gains in all production areas and reflected a most favorable posture as chargeable hours increased 2.7 percent 

while, at the same time, overtime requirements were reduced 12.3 percent over the previous fiscal year. Division manning was up about 11 percent, with the 

greatest increase showing in Offset Press.

Negative production increased more than 2~ million square inches 

from 48,149,056 in 1962 to 50,659,528 in fiscal 1963. Offset plate production was up approximately 9 percent, with 44,730 plates being processed in 1963 as compared with 40,875 in 1962. More than 47 million more impressions were printed in 1963 than in the previous year. 

A great many technological improvements were instituted which made 

themselves felt through reduction of bonus hours and greater productivity. 

Conversion from casein-coated, grained, surface plates to pre-grained, rollercoated, surface plates eliminated the time-consuming plate-whirling operation 

and materially affected the production of plates. 
ms 000-101 FY1963 05/10/2013

-16-

The most significant contribution to high-speed offset production 

since offset was introduced into the Government Printing Office was the 

installation of two 25 x 3S-inch web offset presses equipped with Doyle sheet 

cleaners, vertical-feed blanket-to-blanket perfecter printing unit, eightfoot drying oven capable of handling two webs, chilling unit, folder with 

perforating, pasting, and marking device attachments, and a Stobbs Packer and 

Bundler on each. These presses are capable of producing 32-page ttdoc 11 

signatures and breakdO'Wlls thereof, such as 41 s, S's, 121 s., 16's, 24's at a maximum speed of 25,000 impressions per hour, or approximately 900 feet per 

minute. Specifications for these presses are such that an additional 

perfecter printing unit, chill rollers, and necessary fold.ing equipment can be 

added to provide 64-page production in the future. These presses operate on a 24-hour basis, three B-hour shifts with press personnel staggering lunch 

periods without interruption to press production. 

PLATEMAKING DIVISION 

In the Platemaking Division an over-all 4 percent decrease in squareinch production reflected the diminishing demand for letterpress and relief 

plate material. However, with a corresponding loss of approximately 3 percent 

in personnel during the fiscal year, Division manning was keeping pace with 

production trends. Attrition of Division strength through retirement and 

transfer has resulted in a drop below the optimum. Some sections will be hardpressed to meet production requirements, which are periodically heavy. 

New platemaking equipment was purchased to enable this Division to 

process plates for the wraparound presses purchased by the Letterpress Division. 

Many of the birth pangs of the wraparound printing process have passed, and 

plate costs are being steadily reduced. 

Greater experience and lower plate costs, it is expected, will 

establish a sound basis for increasing wraparound quality and productivity. 

LIBRARY BRANCH OFFICE 

During the first part of August 1961, the Librarian of Congress 

requested the Public Printer to survey all phases of catalog card service to 

the Library with the thought in mind that the Government Printing Office assume the operation of the Card Division Duplicating Unit in order to fill future 

sales orders of the older titles. 

On July 9, 1962, the activities of the Duplicating Unit of the Card 

Division were transferred to the Government Printing Office, along with the 

personnel of that unit, and became known as the Catalog Card Reproduction Unit, 

Library of Congress Branch. 
ms 000-101 FY1963 05/10/2013

-17-

The Library of Congress Branch work showed· a sizable increase over the last fiscal year. The total catalog card production from the continued 

letterpress and offset reproduction operation amounted to 67,160,176 in fiscal 

1963 compared with 40,3?9,978 in fiscal 1962, an astounding rise of 66 percent. 

Proofsheet reproduction increased 1.96 percent over the previous year, and the 

overprinting of call numbers and subject headings show a 7.88 percent increase over fiscal 1962. 

Due to an acute space shortage, the Library is planning to move the 

Card Division and other functions to the Naval Weapons Plant, Building 159. 

Because of the close working relationship with the Card Division, the 

Government Printing Office Library Branch will be moved to the same location. 

The contract has been let for renovation of the building and the latest 

information on the date for moving is in the Spring or early Summer of 1964. 

DELIVERY SECTION 

With deliveries at an all-time high, the Delivery Section has been 

faced with an unusual increase. Pick-up service, showing a total of 3,980 

requests, increased 223 over the last fiscal year. The annual count of 

recorded partial and complete shipments reached 191,927 items--a growth of 

14,323 items more than were handled in the previous fiscal year. At the same time, fleet mileage decreased from 291,428 to 280,190, a difference of 11,238 

miles. The current accident-frequency figure, 7.69, places us in the top five 

of 87 fleets competing in our class. 

The number of delivery stops is steadily increasing as departments 

and agencies expand into outlying areas. Many of the newer stops are receiving 

large shipments but lack platform facilities. 

Plans are under consideration for augmenting our platform facilities as well as our truck fleet.

~T_ATUS OF PRINTING AND BINDING FOR CONGRESS APPROPRIATION 

The Governmqnt Pri1tting Office administers the npproprintions for 

printing and binding for the Connress. The appropriations cover 

authorized printing and binding for the Congress; printing, binding, 

and distribution of the Feder<tl Register; and printing and binding 

of other Government publications authorized by lat~ to be distributed 

\.'ithout charge. The amounts appropriated are based on estimates of 

the work to be required and the related costs. 

Funds arc transferred from the appropriations to the revolving fund 

in reimbursement of the cost of the printing and binding work upon 

its completion and computation of the costs. 

It is estimated that the costs necessary to complete unfinished t~ork 

authorized in fiscal years 1963, 1962, 1961, and prior years will 

exceed the available appropriated funds for those years by $5,353,296, 

$645,153, $142,594 and $579,753, respectively. It has been the policy 

of the Congress to make the current year's appropriation available for 

the payment of obligations incurred under the appropriations for similar purposes for preceding years. 

The unliquidated obligations are established on the basis of estimated 

costs to complete work authorized before the close of the fiscal year. 

The status of the appropriations for printing and binding for the

S~ll-lARY REPORT OF ;.:>!iO?OSED ACQUISITION OF HIGH·SPEEI> 

MAGt.'ETIC TAPE F.LECTRo;uc PiiO'l'OCO:·Il?OSITION SYSTEM ' 

AT THE GOVER..'l'HEttT l.'RI:-."TING OFFICE 

February 28, 1964 

Tl1e Chairman of the .Joint Committee on ?rintin::; fonmrded a letter to the 

Public Printer on April 10, 1962 in t-~hich ;,e noted the grotlth of volume 

of material produced by hir;h-speecl pdntcH'!l on automatic data-processins 

equipment. He stated that this copy results in printine which lacks 

le::;ibility and is excessively bulky. To i:nprove this condition he requested 

the Public Printer to institute a research and development program. The 

Public Printer t~as authorized, subject to Approval of the Joint Committee on 

Printing, to obtain the necessary equip•aent to provide printout from tapes 

or othe1· media. Pursuant to this request the Chairman of the Joint Committee 

on Prin~ing'had already circularized the Departments to inform them of his 

intentions and had given notice that a committee was to be formed to receive 

and coordinate pertinent data in this field. 

On June 6, 1962, the Public Printer crented the position of Electronic 

Printing Research Officer at the Government Printing Office. Shortly there• 

after, a committee of nearly 50 members from Departments and Agencies was 

formed to contribute information on all aspects in this field. The Public 

Printer by letter to six Departments then asked that a work or steering 

committee be formed from this group to assist the Electronic Printing 

Research Officer in the program. This authority ~~as granted by the requested 

Aeencies and the GPO-Departmental Electronic Printing Committee Yaa formed 

and beean its work. 

Basic data assimilated by the Steeri.nu Committee, in brief, indicated t:;at 

a large volume of printing copy is bcin;:; zenerated from information stored on magnetic tape or punched cards. \/hen this information is printed out 

by ~utomatic data-processing printers t~e style is usually all capitals in 

a large type;~riter face with •~ide line spacin:; and poor quality. It is 

then used as reproduction copy for printin;; and poor results are obtained. 

The many advantages of automatic data-processing informational handling, 

such as speed, convenience of storar,e and ability to update and correct 

easily, make desirable a solution to the poor copy and wasteful process now 

used. The Steering Committee believed that a solution to this problem 

could be found in the development of a hir;h-speed photocomposing machine 

utilizing magnetic tape. 

On June 7, 1963 this Committee fon~arded its recommendation to the Public 

Printer for issuance of a "Request J:or ?roposal for Hi;;h-Speed Photocomposer" 

accompanied by supporting letters from major Agencies indicating their 

support and requirements. Their recommendation lvas subsequently revie1ved 

by the GPO Committee for Modernization of Machinery and ~quipment. This 

Request For Proposal and specification tJas then approved by the Public 

Printer and mailed to all knotm potential manufacturers of this type of 

equipment. -

Six contractors responded 1dth proposals and an evaluation team was appointed

Th~ report of the evaluation tcnm to ~ht: S tccrin~> Committee resulted 

in th~ir full concurrence in a rccomr:>c:l<latior. to the Public Printet for 

acquisition of the High-Speed !lagnctic 1';:;;1.; Electronic Photocomposition System. 

The Electronic Printing Research Officer thc.n iJt'Cpal·cn a submission to the GPO 

Comr.1iLt:ce for Hodcrnization of llachinery &:>d Equipment. This Committee in a 

series of three meetings c::trcfully r~,;v).:Mcrl ;;:nd ev::tluated the submission before 

recommending approval to the PubU.e Printer c>n Fcbl.·uary 6, 1964. This request 

is ba:;ed upon the recommendation to the Public Printer M a.,proved by the Modern• 

ization Committee. 

Justification for this Clt;1cnditurc is based upon the capability of the 

proposed system to materially reduce the bulkiness of the finished product \~hile 

greatly improving the legibility. TI1is will be accomplished by converting 

information from fully programmed r.ul~n.::tic t:tpes into high typographic quality 

negatives or printing plates at syccds of si::teen thouscnd pages per day. This 

tmuld cut the original bulk by 20 to 30 percC'nt by reducing the printing and 

bindinz operations ::tnd paper usage. This savings t~ould be most apparent in the 

agencies that are presently producing their mm publications by copy from high• 

speed automatic data processing printers or furnishing such copy· through the 

Government Printing Office· for print in~. Ou:;; study revealed the volume and 

types oZ composition no.-1 being stored on n•a;>nctic tapes in various agcmcics, 

\~hich arc sufficient to justify this acqujsition. The study revealed that 

acquisition of this equipment is warranted. Several departments have indicated 

a desire to acquire similar equipment if the service is not provided by the 

Government Printing Office. 

A comp:;;ehcnsive preliminary stu<ly of ~·edcral Government printing requirements 

shows that the cap::tcity output of t11o r1toJ·ocOJ:1posers of sb;teen thousand pages 

of high quality computer-generated corr;'osition per day (four Plillion pages per 

year) will be urgently required b~· 1%6. The fiscal year 1963 volume of computerprepared copy in the Federal Govcrnrtent co:;t approximately 33.2 million dollars 

for printing and binding 11.2 million pa0(.s. The proposed system would have 

provided an estimated cost savings of 10 r•ercent on this volume by reduction in ·• 

bulk of the final product. It is estimo:tt(;d that the grcmth in computer-generated 

copy by fiscal year 1966 will reach a;>proximatcly 14 million pages costing an 

estimated 44.2 million dollars in printinr, and binding by present methods. 

?.•e Office will develop the capccHy to acci!pt all type::: of copy for these, 

machines ranging from raw manuscript copy to fully prepared magnetic tape. The 

proposed system t~ill be ideally suiteC: at th·~ out~et to improve the quality and 

reduce bulk of computer-generate<:: listing~' such as catalogs, parts listings, · 

personnel and. telephone directories, stock a•1d allowance listings and a variety 

of indices and listings. It will have the capability of producing technical 

manuals and· other informational,rclcascs. 

The savings in printing and binding costs to the Government expected from 

this system should recover the origincl co&t for two machines, their related 

equipment and programming in less than one and a half years •.
