About
Fifty eight distinct designs for an early twentieth century newspaper works, plus two assembled scenes. The press hall holds a sectional rotary web press in four butted sections, a drive unit, two printing units and the folder, fed by a two arm reel stand, spare reels on chocks and a five roller web path frame, with a flatbed cylinder press, a treadle platen jobbing press, a galley proof press, an ink fountain, a plate casting box, curved stereotype plates and a plate rack around them. The composing room has a hot metal linecasting machine with a matrix magazine and a blank keyboard, a twelve drawer type case cabinet, composing and imposing stones, a galley rack, galleys of set type, a locked up chase with its quoins and furniture, a furniture rack, a make-up table, a compositors stool, an ink slab with cans and a roller rack. Finishing and dispatch add a guillotine, a folding table, a bundling press, a wire stitcher, skids of newsprint, a waste bin of offcuts, a hand truck and a reel trolley. The editorial office has an editors desk, a typewriter, a candlestick telephone, a copy spike, a filing cabinet, a wall clock, a pigeonhole rack, a subs table, a light box, a photo enlarger, a proof board and a news board, with a panelled front counter and hatch. The building is a modular kit: brick, window and door wall bays on a 3.00 m bay and a 4.60 m eaves, 6.00 m works and boarded office floor tiles, a 12.00 m roof truss and roof deck bays, a works staircase, a floor drain, and the overhead drive, a 6.00 m line shafting bay with its belt drop and electric motor. Metres, +Y up, +Z forward, grounded origins throughout apart from the hung wall clock and the line shafting. Rigid node transform clips only: press cylinders, ink and web rollers, the reel, flywheels, the ink disc, the mould wheel, the line shaft and pulleys and the truck wheels turn, the platen swings, the guillotine blade and the bundling ram drop, type case, desk and filing drawers open, the goods doors and the counter hatch open, the casting box lid lifts, the typewriter carriage slides and the enlarger head runs up its column. The paper web, the drive belts, the telephone and motor cabling and the ink are static geometry and say so in their descriptions: flexible material and fluid need a joint per element or a shader, and neither is reachable with one rigid node transform. Linkages, the platen press treadle rods and the guillotine screw gear, are left static for the same reason. There are no people in the pack and no skinning anywhere. Nothing is branded: no real newspaper, publisher, press maker, typefoundry or news agency appears, and every printed surface is blank or carries abstract rule bars, so no masthead, headline or word is modelled in any language. Original AI assisted CC0 geometry.
