Title
George P. Gordon and the Platen Press
Creator
Thom, Robert A., 1915-1979
Summary
The first of an illustrious line of Gordon job presses, standard equipment for commercial printing for years, was invented and put on the American market by George Phineas Gordon in 1851. The press was a small jobber operated by a treadle, and it had no throw-off. Gordon presses have appeared in various forms since the inventor's early model and are still operating and turning out job printing as efficiently as they did in the 19th century.
