Accuracy in Printing-Press Construction
J. R. BlaineAbstract
The printing-press manufacturer must build accuracy into his press, holding all machined parts to a definite limit or tolerance. After considerable research, the Miehle company has adopted a definite system whereby the engineering department stipulates the permissible tolerances, any part coming outside being rejected. Cylinder-bearer diameters are held to within 0.0005 in., and ink-fountain rollers must be true within 0.0001 in.
