Stan Nelson of The Atelier Press is working with a film student from American University to produce a series of short videos on old methods of type manufacture. You can see a rough edit of our first video on YouTube. When completed this video will have additional close ups of the mould and the cast types, etc. It will be a very clear representation of centuries old type casting. Other planned segments will show type dressing, and some aspects of punchcutting. All should be available in the next month or so.
In March, Barbara Heritage presented at the Society for Textual Scholarship at New York University on the textual history of George Meredith's The Ordeal of Richard Feverel and Feverelweb, the Web-based tool she is designing, in collaboration with programmer Carsten Clark, to compare different versions of the novel.

The Winter 2009 APHA newsletter listed chapter news and upcoming events that included the names of chapter members Lenore Rouse, Stan Nelson, and Dan DeSimone.
Stan Nelson of The Atelier Press has reached the milestone of completing his 40th type mould. Type mounds are used in handcasting type. He also wrote an article about his type moulds which will run in an upcoming issue of The Printer. Photo of Stan's type mould
Stan Nelson also produced recent 72-point type mould which will be used in casting experiments along with a 48 point mould for The International Museum of Printing, in Carson, California, Mark Barbour, Executive Director. He is presently cutting a 48 point, Caslon cap M punch to be used to make a matrix for that mould and as a teaching example.
Doug Burnette, a film student at American University, shot a film in Stan Nelson's Atelier Press on making type by hand. It will be part of his senior project, but short pieces of the footage will be posted on YouTube in the next few weeks. The production value of this film is very high and we think it will be very useful in book history programs.

Chapter President Michael Denker produced a nice piece for the APA that is worth a mention in member's news.
I am a letterpress printer with a special love for 19th century wood type. I am always looking for a reason to print since printing is an avocation. (I am a builder during the week.) I am also always looking for reasons to display my collection of wood type. Recently Antioch College, my Alma Matter, has been struggling to survive and reinvent itself, as it has done several times in its history. I belong to a national printer’s sharing group called the Amalgamated Printers Association. One of the members promised to send out a tube big enough to handle posters. I had been working, somewhat without direction, on a poster displaying the Tuscan family of wood type. All of these factors came together in this poster dedicated to Antioch College. This poster is also the first item I have printed on a 1949 Vandercook 25-25 proof press, which I had been restoring. | Photo

Chris Manson, proprietor of Crooked Crow Press, in Rockville, Maryland was written up in Vanderblog about his converting of his Universal III Power Vandercook to a hand-cranked press. He had a retired machinist make a collar extension to fit onto the bearing stub on the impression cylinder (photo 3). Onto this new bearing stub Chris attached a crank from a large Poco proof press. Note the notch that had to be cut out of the handle arm (photo 5). Currently, a set screw is the only means of holding the position of the crank collar on the new bearing stub.

May 10 & 11 from 9:30 am – 4:00 pm
$220 (Pyramid Atlantic members: $205) · $45 materials fee
This class is limited to eight students only. Have you taken letterpress classes but you still run into problems that you don’t know how to solve. In this intermediate to advanced class learn advanced composition, color registrations, and how to make ready on the Vandercook. Also, the instructors will set-up several problem solving scenarios you may encounter while printing your letterpress project such as how to ink type at varying heights on the same form and how and when to hand ink. If you are working on a project bring your questions to class to discuss with these master printers. Students will make a four page French fold booklet combining type and imagery. Students should already know how to set type, ink, and operate the press.
December 2007
Member Stan Nelson relayed this story to Stephen Saxe.
"At the end of May, I was flown to London by the BBC to participate in the filming of a television program on Gutenbeg's invention of printing with moveable type. This show, called 'The Machine that Made Us', focuses on efforts to better understand just what Gutenberg actually invented, with particular attention on the press. I showed the host of the show, the movie actor Stephen Fry [V is for Vendetta and the narrator for all of the Harry Potter films], traditional techniques of punchcutting and typecasting. Stephen (who is a descendent of the famous typefounders Fry) proved to be an apt pupil, and through the magic of film they cut a punch, struck a matrix, and cast copies of Gutenberg's lower-case p which then went into a forme of Theo Rehak's B-42 Bible type, set by Kitty Maryatt of Scripps College. This re-setting of a page of the Gutenberg Bible was printed on an experimental wooden press made by Alan May. This program will air sometime in 2008.
After filming in England, I traveled to Parma, Italy, with James Mosley to survey the type moulds of Giambatista Bodoni, the famous 18th century typographer. I organized the collection of moulds by size, and sorted out some misplaced pieces. During the second work day, I cast type from one of Bodoni's original moulds, using a matrix from the appropriate set of mats. As expected, the fine lines of Bodoni's design were demanding and hard to cast. Complicating matters, it was not practical to shake the mould, which is essential with such designs if one is to get a sharp face on the type. There is unbelievable material in this collection. Working with it, however briefly, was a wonderful experience that must be repeated — soon."
