William Tyndale (1492-1536) was born in Gloucestershire (believed to be Dursley). He became a tutor in Old Sodbury but later developed an interest in translating the Bible into the vernacular from the Greek 'original'. As this was forbidden he moved to Germany. He was later arrested for heresy, imprisoned, strangled and burnt. He was among the first to recognise the power of the printing press.
The statue was sculpted by Lawrence Holofcener.
The Musée des Arts et Métiers, (Museum of Arts and Crafts) is a museum in Paris that houses the collection of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (National Conservatory of Arts and Industry), which was founded in 1794 as a depository for the preservation of scientific instruments and inventions.
In 1794, Abbot Henri Gregoire founded the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, designed to be a collection of machines, tools and models created in the fields of technology and science. The Conservatory, established in 1802 and located in the old priory of Saint Martin des Champs, was also an institution of education and the fore-runner of the Musee des Arts et Metiers.
Since its foundation, the museum has been housed in the previosly deserted priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs in the rue Réaumur in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris.
The Benedictine priory and church of Saint Martin des Champs was built in the mid-11th century, the first Gothic structure to be built in Paris. However, this was destroyed and replaced with the church that stands there now, built in the 13th century.
Improvements on it continued through the years; Henri III constructed the large portal on rue St. Martin; in 1626, Mansart built the high altar in the apse; a cloister was completed in 1720.
During the French Revolution the priory was pillaged and the monks executed, leaving it deserted until the Conservatory occupied it in 1802.
During renovations in 1993, archaeological discoveries confirmed the existence of a Merovingian necropolis located beneath the nave of the medieval church, dating from the 6th-7th centuries. Over 100 plaster coffins were found.
The Musee des Arts et Metiers is organized into 7 departments: Scientific Instruments; Materials; Construction; Communication; Energy; Mechanics; Transportation. Each department is displayed chronologically.
The museum begins with Scientific Instruments, exhibiting tools of astronomy used for determining the place of the sun in the zodiac, weights and measures such as Charlemagne's Pile, the royal standard of weight at the end of the 15th century and Pascal's calculators, designed by Blaise Pascal when he was 19 years old.
The equipment of Antoine Lavoisier's laboratory from the mid-1700s is exhibited. Lavoisier is regarded as the father of modern chemistry.
The equipment used by Foucault for determining the speed of light is displayed, which he measured while working at the Observatory of Paris in 1862. Numerous other exhibits chronicle scientific development up to the 1990s and robotic technology.
In the Materials department we discover the creation of glass, brick and fabrics, including the development of looms and the factories which produce the vast quantities of the materials used today.
In the Construction section of the museum one can see the model used in 1690 for constructing Jules Mansart's Eglise du Dome at the Hôtel les Invalides.
Also exhibited is the model for constructing the dome of what was the Wheat Market of 1809, now the Bourse, the building for the Paris stock market, located adjacent to the Garden of Les Halles. This dome, built in 1763, was one of the first metal structures to be constructed in France.
In the Communication department are exhibited printing presses, typewriters, telephone equipment from the early 1900s, telegraph systems from 1860, radio development from 1924 onward, the history of cameras, phonographs, recording instruments for producing sound for cinema and satellites, with a model of the Telstar which enabled the first live trans-Atlantic television transmission in 1962 from New York to England.
The Energy department displays the history of the machinery used for harnessing every form of energy including steam, wind, electrical, atomic and solar.
The Mechanics department of the Musee des Arts et Metiers is impressive with its collection of the development of mechanical machinery. Here are several "hands-on" exhibits where one can operate pulleys and pumps and gears.
The Transportation department shows everything from the bicycle to rocket ships. This is the final department visited in the museum and an impressive section of it is located in the chapel of the old church.
Here we find the first "horseless carriages", steam powered trains, propeller driven racing cars, modern cars cut in half and complete airplanes which are suspended overhead, dramatically contrasting with the ceiling of this medieval church.
Also found in this part of the museum is an in-motion Foucault Pendulum. This 156 year old demonstration continues to fascinate and prove the measurable reality of Earth's rotation. The actual orb used by Foucault on February 3, 1851, at the Paris Observatory, his first public demonstration of his pendulum, is exhibited here and protected within a glass case.
The museum, which underwent major renovation in 1990, includes an additional building adjacent to the abbey, with larger objects remaining in the abbey itself.
The museum has over 80,000 objects and 15,000 drawings in its collection, with 40,000 at the Paris site.
The museum appears in literature as the scene of the climax of the novel Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco.
I went to the Open Day at the Museum Collections Centre - 25 Dollman Street on the 13th of May 2012.
At the Dollman Street Stores they have objects that are not currently on display in the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery or Think Tank. Some items used to be in the old Museum of Science & Industry on Newhall Street.
In the warehouse at the Museum Collections Centre - 25 Dollman Street. Lots of large items in here.

I very much enjoy the old steam operated equipment at Denton Farm Park, This steam powered printing press is no exception.
This fully functional printing press, located in the Print Shop, is used to demonstrate the steps printers when through to produce just one sheet of printed paper. Examples can be seen on the right of the image.
This was a printing press that I took a picture of at a high rate of speed as we zoomed by. I kinda like how it turned out, despite the fact that I'm not even sure if I was trying to take a picture of it or if I ws actually trying to take a picture of a hot chick next to it and missed.
HISTORIC SOUTH-CENTRAL - An overnight battle raged as nearly 100 firefighters worked diligently to defend a burning commercial building. Ultimately the fire won out, but their efforts saved business-critical equipment worth over $165,000.
At 12:50AM on February 25, 2021 the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 3801 S Grand Avenue in South Los Angeles. Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire showing from a one story commercial building, exposing the attached two story structure.
The first engine company on scene initiated a transitional fire attack, applying water to the visible flames from the exterior while awaiting the arrival of more fire companies. They also saw two printing presses inside the building and identified them as key to the textile business. They focused their efforts and despite the growing blaze, were able to save this equipment worth over $165,000.
The 11,388 square foot building, constructed in 1969, comprised a one story warehouse in the back with a two story office section at the front. Once the bulk of the initial assignment arrived on scene, firefighters began an offensive operation on both areas. Approximately 30 minutes into the incident, continued heavy fire in the one story section resulted in signs of the structural integrity being compromised which triggered the move to a defensive operation with additional resources requested to assist.
While large diameter hand lines and master streams were deployed and directed into the one story building, an offensive operation was carefully coordinated in the two story building as firefighters worked aggressively to save the office portion of the structure.
Despite the diligent effort of 99 firefighters under the command of Assistant Chief Kristina Kepner, who labored relentlessly for over two hours, the fire consumed a majority of the building, resulting in a total loss and the structure being red-tagged as unfit for occupancy by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety.
Monetary loss from the blaze, which thankfully caused no injury, is still being tabulated. Pursuant to protocol, the cause of this greater alarm fire remains under active investigation by the LAFD Arson / Counter-Terrorism Section.

When I acquired my first (at one time I had three) Adana HQ [QH] Horizontal Quarto I was presented with the instruction booklet and the original bill of sale from Los Angeles Type Founders dated November 12, 1965. I got the press in 1994 and promptly lost the booklet. I re-discovered it in a box of unrelated stuff in December 2010, and since it is not otherwise posted on line, I thought it would be nice to share with others less fortunate. Interesting to note that the $120.00 paid for the press in 1965 is equal to the buying power of $830.00 today.

Description: Printing Press from the printworks of James Ballantyne and Company, Pauls Work, North Back of Canongate, on which the 'Waverley' novels of Sir Walter Scott were produced. Plaque on press reads '1796 Ballantyne Press, used by Ballantyne in the printing of the Waverley Novels'.
Further Notes: Known as the Ballantyne Press it dates from the late 18th Century- a plaque gives the date as 1796, the year when James Ballantyne's first practical connection with printing was established, when he became editor and manager of a new weekly newspaper, the 'Kelso Mail'. James Ballantyne (1772 - 1833) moved his printing business from Kelso to Edinburgh, in 1802, following the success of Scott's 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border'. The firm remained at Paul's Work until 1870 when, due to the Encroachments of the Waverley Railway station, it moved to Newington. A branch was set up in London in 1878 and by 1916 the Edinburgh print works had been discontinued.
History: In 1957 the firm - by then Spottiswoode, Ballantyne and Company of London- gave the press to the V & A Museum who transferred it to Edinburgh in October of that year. The press is currently on display at the Writer's Museum, Lady Stairs Close, Edinburgh

Exhibit in Fiji Museum at Suva:
The Printing Press
Fiji's First Printing Press
This Press played a pivotal role in the early mission work in Fiji.
It arrived in 1838, first used on the island of Lakeba, Lau under the direction of Reverend David Cargill.
The first cathechism in the Lakeba dialect was published in March 1839. In July of that year the press was transported to Rewa where is continued to print mission literature until 1844.
It was evacuated to Viwa Island off the Tailevu coast to escape the danger of the vicious Bau, Rewa war. Here under the care of Reverend John Hunt, it continued to print religious literature, including copied of the Fijian New Testament. After Hunt's death it was operated by Reverend James Calvert and a young shipwrecked French sailor, Edward Martin.

Artwork by Karl Addison

********************************************************************************
********************************************************************************
As Karl Addison’s art and vision evolves—from blank slate, to paper, to mural, to installation, to unoccupied public space—our understanding and comprehension of the world around us begins to unfold as well. We may not notice his input, infiltrating our subconscious—our everyday—but it’s there. A beautiful woman’s face composed of negative space watching peacefully over a cemetery in Wedding, a fragile old Jewish woman towering over a decommissioned factory in Berlin, an urban zoo of imagined creatures deposited all over the globe, an abandoned room filled with 4,500 fat babies…Addison’s art and commentary on history and culture are everywhere, becoming part of the collective unconscious.
Through his travels to Italy, Israel, Japan, throughout the US, and his current residence in Berlin, Addison’s overarching theme of people and the spaces they occupy and interact with has taken shape. By focusing on pieces, which work to become part of public space rather than interrupt it, his intent to create regenerative art through murals and other mediums is being actualized. He has achieved this both independently and collaboratively with other contemporary artists and painters, most notably James Boullough. Addison’s recent and current collaborative projects also highlight his more narrowed focus of interconnectedness, “connecting humanity around the world with different cultures from different places,” he wants us to value tiny lines, details, to appreciate a world view and hopefully, start extolling minute details of our own.
It takes an extraordinary person, one with talent, courage, and patience, to express himself the way Addison does. To project his voice and vision for the world to see—to rip it out of a sketch book or a blank page in his mind—and produce it. To take it beyond the two-dimensional and spray paint, wheat paste, bomb, the side of a building with an illimitable piece of art. To exhibit in public space—on walls, on clothing, in art galleries—what a beautiful fucking thing. Art—“a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind” leaving the watching to the watched.

Broadway Tower was inspired by the famous Capability Brown and completed in 1799 from designs by the renowned architect James Wyatt. It was built for the Earl of Coventry as a folly to his Springhill Estate and dedicated to his wife Peggy.
Legend has it Broadway Tower was used as a signalling tower between Springhill Estate and Croome Court near Worcester, which can be seen from the roof platform.
Many famous people have had association with Broadway Tower, including Sir Thomas Phillips and the pre-Raphaelite artists William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and Rosetti.
Broadway Tower is open to the public allowing you to travel into the past of this important building and visit the viewing platform constituting the highest point in the Cotswolds at 1089 feet or 331.6 metres altitude.
[2]
Broadway Tower is a folly located on Broadway Hill, near the village of Broadway, in the English county of Worcestershire, at the second highest point of the Cotswolds after Cleeve Hill. Broadway Tower's base is 1,024 feet (312 metres) above sea level. The tower itself stands 55 feet (17 metres) high.
The "Saxon" tower was designed by James Wyatt in 1794 to resemble a mock castle, and built for Lady Coventry in 1799. The tower was built on a "beacon" hill, where beacons were lit on special occasions. Lady Coventry wondered if a beacon on this hill could be seen from her house in Worcester - approximately 22 miles (35 km) away - and sponsored the construction of the folly to find out. The beacon could be seen clearly.
Over the years, the tower was home to the printing press of Sir Thomas Phillips, and served as a country retreat for artists including William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones who rented it together in the 1880s.
Today, the tower is a tourist attraction and the centre of a country park with various exhibitions open to the public at a fee as well as a gift shop. The place is on the Cotswold Way and can be reached by following the Cotswold Way from the A44 road at Fish Hill, or by a steep climb out of Broadway village. Near the tower is a memorial to the crew of an A.W.38 Whitley bomber that crashed there during a training mission in June 1943.
