box, thereby making half round plate with
the type and the cuts imprinted on the outside
The plate is now finished, all except being
trimmed. This is done by two motor-propelled
machines, one called a taller and the other
trimmer The taller cuts off that part of the
plate which was made by too much metal being
poured in the box and the trimmer planes down
the back or inside Of the plate so that it will
perfectly fit the rollers of the large press in the
Press Room. The plate is now doused in tank
of water to cool it off and then placed on d
special gravity eevjtor which carries the plate
to the Press Room and the operation is over.
The machinery in this department is all new
and of the latest design. Each piece is operated
by individual electric MOTOR so that the current
is being used only when the machine is in actual
operation.

folded papers are caught as they come from the
press and are delivered to the Mail Room above
in continuous stream.
Upon reaching the Mail Room the papers are
filed in neat piles convenient for the men who
are to get them ready for the mails and for city
delivery.
A notable feature of The AgeHerald Build
ing is the electric light and wiring system
Every electric light wire in the building is en-
closed in a conduit and these conduits were laid
in the concrete at the time the building was
constructed They are so arranged that lights
from the ceiling or from the floor can be fixed
on each desk in the building. A system of push
buttons all over the building is SO arranged
that any light or any series Of lights can be cut
off or turned on at one movement.
Even the telephone and telegraph wires in the
building are in conduits, which were placed in
the concrete at the time the building was erect
ed Switchboxes are located on each floor
of the building and all of the lights on any par
ticular floor are connected with the switch-boX
on that level.

one OF them from printers devil to paymaster

pish something.
The result is the new building from which it
IS this day printed-a complete comfortable
ilsproof building of every modern convenience
and of the most perfect machinery of any news
paper in all the world. Indeed [ don't believe
there exists better arranged or more complete
newspaper plant in the world.
But the public, and especially those who have
in their lives been connected with newspapers,
are invited and requested to personally visit it
and inspect it for themselves.

Few people realize how much work is in

The Age-Herald prints an average of 120 sepa-
rate newspaper pages week. This means $40
columns of type to be set A column of non
pareil type means about 1000 words, or 1850,
600 words of type to be set per week Each
word is made up of single letters to be set sepa-

four or five minutes the top of the table is I'M
screwed and the now ful-fedged mat" is
taken out.
The mat is then backed up" that is, little
pieces of felt are pasted on the back of it where
the larger indentations occur. This is done so
that the raised parts imprinted on the mat will
not give way when the heavy casting metal is
poured against them. The mat is then placed
in box similar to stove oven, which is called
the rooster This is merely continuation Of
the drying process and is not used when speed
Is required in making late plate
The mat IS then placed in the casting box,
which is semi-cylindrica This is so arranged
that when closed there is space about half an
inch thick over the entire surface Of the mat

sign probably never before introduced in the
south. Heretofore the molten metal has always
been dipped up by hang and poured into the
casting box. AS each plate weighs nearly 100
pounds before being trimmed an enormous
amount of physical exertion was necessary to
get the metal poured. In Tie Age Herald this
molten metal is actually pumped The big
pumps sit down in the huge metal pot and the
simple pulling of lever pumps the metal into
the casting box, where the impression of the
mat is taken.
The tail-cutter is double--that is, each end
of the plate can be sawed off at single opera
ton, whereas in most cases it is necessary to
lift the unfinished plate off and turn it around
in order n cut the other end. The shaver trims
down the inside of the plate to have it ex-
actly the same thickness all over This is nee
essary in order that when the plate is put on
the press the impression of every part shall be
exactly the same.
In this department is also located full page
casting box to cast flat plates This is used for
most part in handling advertisements Many
of the big advertisements are illustrated with
drawings which come to the office in the form
of mats. They are sent out in this way to save
lHe heavy expense UHdJ WOulQ result from oX
press charges. These mats are placed in the
fiat casting box and fiat cut is cast from them
1t is then sawed down to the desired size by
special saving machine and the cut goes to the
Advertising Department. This cut is placed in
the form and must come back and 90 through
the same stereotyping process other cuts and
type.
The Stereotyping Department is thoroughly
lighted and ventilated and has extensive water
connections, for after the metal is cast it is nee
essary to cool it rapidly. This is done by run
ming water around it. NThe department is con-
nected with the Press Room not only by auto
matte gravity plate drop, but also by speaking
tubes. So that although the department is al
most at the top of the building and on the same
level as the Composing Room, it is in constant
direct touch with the Press Room in the base
ment.
To the uninitiated a trip to this department is
well worth the time spent. The average layman
is always surprised at the intricacy Of the bus
mess of making a newspaper and the Stereo-
tipping Department is usually revelation to
him.

The quarters provided for the scores of
youngsters who carry The Age Herald along
the various routes and who sell the papers OF
the streets will prove an especial attraction to
those interested in the welfare of boys They
have their private room, with a private stair
way; there is private avatory and plenty of
benches end tables where they can count their
papers and get them in shape. Even if they
want to remain outdoors in rainy weather until
the press starts, there is great metal awning
over the private alley under which they can
keep perfectly dry and comfortable.

patent conveyors from the Press Room to the
Mail Room will prove of exceptional interest

rST1 HE STEREOTYPING DEPARTMENT
Of The Age-IIerald is one Of the most
lssasW important for here is the last chance to
correct an error in the forms before the paper
goes to the press Although there is hard physi-
cal labor, and lots Of it, connected with the
Stereotyping Room, there is also much skill of
the highest order brought into play, the skill
that comes only by experience and from fingers
that have seen service in the lightning speed
manufacture of plates for newspaper work.
The stereotypers make for The Age Herald
an average of n plates every night. They do
not have all night to make plate, however, for
all thestypesetting and the making of the forms
has to be done before their work can begin.
Their average time Of active work is about five
hours every day, and when everything is in
working order they can make plate from the
form and get it down to the press room three
stories below, ready for use, in seven minutes.
The actual work of making plate looks very
simple to the onlooker and is readily under
stood The helper rolls table with made-up
form ON it into the Stereotyping Room, where
it is handed over to the foreman. This makeup
table and all the metal table machines in the
room are Of the same height so that the form is
never lifted, but slid from one place to another.
The head stereotyper first sees that all the cuts
and type are level on top. He adjusts them by
placing slips of paper under those parts of the
form that are lower than the others.
The form is now quickly brushed off with
gasoline in order to thoroughly cleanse it and
then "trued up in front of the rollers. A mat
riX, which is piece of damp, thick and espe-
eially prepared paper, is laid on top of the form
and on top of the matrix is placed thick felt
pad. The roller table is placed in motion by
starting the motor and, carrying the form with
it, it passes under the heavy rollers This is
done several times until the imprint of the cuts
and type is made clearly in the soft paper that
composes the matriX.
The piece of paper is now called "fong'
and next is placed in steam table press. This
is a table with metal part arranged above it so
that the hong is placed between and the top
part screwed down tightly. The object of this
is to dry the fong and the table is heated very
hot>with steam. After being in the steam table

To the man who likes history it would be in
teresting to go over the files which The Age
Herald keeps on record. Here bound and in
order, are files of every copy of the paper ever
ssued and they constitute the most complete
and most comprehensive chronological history
of Birmingham and of the state that could be
compiled. These files are stored in specially
built shelves in the Editorial Rooms
There is never an hour Of the day or night
when some one is not on duty in The Age Her
aid Building. The Business Office force is al
ways ready for the days work by O'Clock.
Shortly after noon the reporters and men Of the
news department get their ASST gnments and be-
gin work for the day. The Composing Room
force and the night editors go on duty early in
the evening. The stereotypers and pressmen be-
gin about II O'Clock at night Shortly after
midnight the Mail Room force shows up and
begins to get things in shape for the mornings
rush to get to the mails while the carrier boys
get down and get their papers shortly after
o'clock. And it goes day after day. There
is never moment of the 800 days of the year
when some one is not on duty at The Age-Her-
aid Building
