QuoteEvolution video celebrates the amazing 71 years of production of the iconic Heidelberg T (Tiegel) Platen Press - from its first debut at the 1914 BUGRA Exhibition in Leipzig to the last year of production in 1985.  The video informs the evolution of design and technology of this platen press, lovingly remembered by most as the "Windmill" - a nickname which derives from the windmill action of the feeding and delivery hands.
