The Mashek Form Truck
UR TRUCK is a real labor-saving device -one that not only effects an actual saving in both time and
labor, but also insures against damage to forms every time it is used, and which means an average of
several times daily in any printery where cylinder presses are installed. No more need for worry about forms
not "lifting" through absence of cross-bars; nor for one man on each end of a chase and another in the
center (with possibly a board for added safety) in handling a large form from floor to bed of press; nor of danger
of "pi" in travel of the form to the press room and return. All these dangers are positively eliminated by the use
of our truck.  Briefly, Mr. Printer actually saves dollars every day the truck is used, not only in added safety to his
forms but also in the saving of time required in handling.
Forms are slid from stone to truck and from truck to press without any possibility of any portion of the type
matter falling from the chase. Heavy forms are handled easily in this manner. During the journey from stone to
press there is no danger of striking the face of the form, as is often the case in the old way.
The space required back of a press for transferring a form is usually small. The top is first elevated for height
in the tilted position, high enough to clear the bed of the press when swiveled horizontally. The final adjustment is
then made for a perfect alignment. In this position, one-third of the form projects inside the side frames of the press.
The table top swivels on a central axle, making it easy to tilt. The axle bearings fit in sockets attached to fast
ball-bearing adjusting screws at each end of the truck.
When the form is placed on this truck, the table top holding the form can be folded as shown and wheeled
through a two-foot space.
Its operation is not interfered with in any way where an automatic feeder
is attached to the press.
