I’ve just taken delivery of a Heidelberg t-platen/Windmill and I’m trying to work out it’s year of manufacture.

Serial #151512

According to http://sellpress.com/sn.heid.2.htm it’s a 1965… or 1964? Can’t work out if those numbers are the first of the year or last. Can anyone clarify?

Hi at the bottom of the table it says - Serial Numbers shown are the last in the given year. 1965 the way I read it.

I’ve been running 3 Windmills, two 10/15s, and one 13/18. Was able to use the serial numbers to find the year, but the two older machines have the letter E after the number. Anyone know what that’s for? Ron

I believe the ‘E’ was a designation for Heidelberg presses exported to the United States.
