Letterpress - Peerless 11x7 platen press by Cropper
Has been converted to electric motor and has a hand guard added.
The feed board on the right should be higher on a post so that it is above the platen, the clean paper is slid down onto the platen and then slid off onto the main board, not picked up.
Presume it has been run with three rollers which is a waste of ink. The third roller only needs to go on for a full forme.
