The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1884-04-13
THE NEWS PRESS ROOM,

where THE HERALD is printed.
That machine is the large cylinder
press, and the cuIiously.constructed
piece OF machinery at this end is the
folder, cutter and paster; this, with
the big wheel, is the gas engine
that furnishes the motive rover fer
the presses in both rooms. Above
you will notice the large amount of
shaftlng required. The large press
is client now, and we must Welt it
after awhile, when the room will be
lively enough.
Here by the way is something we
lrearly overlooked, and it is very
essential adjunct to the press room.
It is the elevator leading up into
the composing room, and used ouly
in conveying the forms to and fro.
The machinery was made at the
| Silver Iron Works, and placed in
position under Mr.. Eilver's
personal supervision Il is very
cJeditabie piece OF work, indeed, and
is the best Of the kind we have ever
seen.
THROUGH this dark, narrow en-
trance We arrive at the steam heat
ing apparatus, an intelligent piece
of mechauism-mOre so than some
men. for the reason that it knows
when it has enough steam on, and
refuses point blank to take any
more. From this emauates the
war NTH necessary for the entire
four floors of building 100x30 feet.
Upstars, now, and on the second
fl Ior, in the south least corner, we
find
THE EDITOR~IN-C CHIEF
located, in very pleasant room;
one that commands an elegant
view, and has the sane character
ist'cs of the other Apartments,
bright, airy and cheerful. In the
corner, next to the heavily loaded
cook case. We sac the other end OIL
the dummy" we noticed in the
Counting Room below. Adjoining
this is the
REPORTERS ROOM,
headquarters of the city department.
Hers We see another "dummy;;" this
conveys copy to the composltor-
above; the speaking tube connecting
is On the opposite wall,
Adjoining the Editorial Rooms ale
several suites of elegant Offices, clean
and light, and supplied with wa Ter,
steam and gas. Some are now &C.
cupied, and the others will be in tie
course of a few days.
We DOW ascend another flight of
stairs, and through this hall walk
into
The BINDERY,
probably enc Of the most com mo-
dious and best appointed in the
west. Nimble>tingered girls are
seated along the tables, sewing or
"s,itching" the leaves of the books
together, ready to be handed over
to the "forwarders." This is the
ruling machine, an elegant piece of
furniture that, for appearance,w oul
grace any psrlor. It has only lately
been purchased and set up, and cons
tsins all the la'est Improvement to |
date, making it the most complete |
and best in the Terri tory, and equal |
to anything in the west, or east |
either for that matter. The gentle
man who manipulates it is justly
proud Oft, and handles it with care
and solicitude. With it can be done |
any and everv kind of ruling that
can possibly be demanded. sit
goes SLOW" did you say? Well, yes,
in comparison with the presses we
saw In the basement, but ruling is
very delicate work, and must be
handled carefully. Here, on this
sidr. is another species of gujllotiue
the Acme paper cutter. It is a |
ponderous affair, is itnot? It seems
as though there might be waste of
f rec so newhere, when 1t tskes so
much power to cut paper properly,
doesn'G it? But the machine is easy
of management, does its work with
rspidity, and is enc of the
most useful things in the room.
This little machine here, worked
by the young lady, IS a pager, with
which the blank books, receipt books,
order books, certificates, ete., are
properly PACED; over there is the
machine for perforating checks, re-
ceiptF, etc, and it works to a charm;
and this funny looking thing here
is the round corner cutter, ussd for |
shaping the corners OF books. Next
comes the bosid cutter, and this is |
the ny draulic press. You viii no.
tice several other machines. but |
they are OF minor Importance |
Others are now on the road, and Will |
shortly arrive. Here on these |
shelves is every thing in the shape |
OF leather, cloth, ETC., that the most |
Bindery has any posslble |
need of, and the stock is nsver al
lowed to run down, as in that case
customers would probably never be
able to fnd the style they desired.
One article this department makes |
a speciality Of is ledger paper, fur
any and every style that |
can possibly be called for. 1t would |
take too much Of your valuable |
time, to explain the uses of these
hundreds of tools Won sea scattered |
