Thanks to Robin Kenworthy for drawing my attention to this video, made by Mark Barbour from the International Print Museum, Carson, California, USA.

It explains how to operate a 19th Century iron hand press, a question asked recently on this Forum. There is a nice quote about printers from Charles Dickens towards the end.
