Rich is this the machine you were telling my about once that you guys set up at a trade show with screens in each head and somehow it accidentally printed all hot sticky tables by accident causing a major mess?

I have a feeling that someone is going to want that press, get it ready for shipping Rich!!! Someone will be desperate enough to take a chance on it.

Does someone have a timeline of the companies and the years they were in business? It would be cool to see the historical changes and companies that came and went, merged or went under and other significant changes. Who was a distributor or machine manufacturer? Wasn't Advance just a distributor of American machinery or do I have that wrong? I have heard all the players but I don't have a very good grasp of when and where some of them came from.

Something like:
Advance: 1980-1988 (just guessing dates)
Elexon:
M&R:
TAS:
American:
AWT:
Anatol:
etc....

Alan, I think we need a book. Other industries have them, not so much about technical stuff, just histories, overviews, stories, timelines, people, the funny side, the disasters, etc. id put one on my visa. Rich.......

A company up in Norfolk scarfed up a bunch of these but soon realised they had to hire a full time tech to be on hands 24/7.
Guess who did the electronics?
