Arab Platen
I have almost completed a rebuild of a 10” x 15” Arab Platen - it was being used as a forme cutter - it is 95% complete, however as some parts had been removed, rollers etc (which I have), I am not too sure where some of the smaller attachments fit - I am trying to find a manual or photos of a complete machine.
Years ago I used to operate a variety of old letterpress equipment and it has mainly been from that experience that I wanted to restore some of this great old machinery.
I live in Melbourne, Australia, but these machines went all over the world, so would really appreciate any assistance.
Darryl,
Look at britishletterpress.co.uk. Ben Brundell’s site has an excellent section on the Arab press.
