In the Engraving Room

In the Engraving Room

In the engraving room, negative plates were placed on the light board. A metal plate was overlaid, and the light etched the print onto the plate.

After pages were completed in the Composing Room, negative copies were created in the Film Output machine. These negatives were used to create the metal plates used in the printing machines.
