RANDOLPH - New equipment was put into operation for the first time at the Times Office this week.
It is called a Photo-Lathe and it is an automated high-speed electronic engraving machine. Simply stated the machine will produce engravings from photographs which can be published in The Times. Previously it was necessary to send pictures away to have engravings made.
What does this mean to a Times subscriber?
It means that effective with this issue it will be the intention of the owners of this newspaper to publish a greater number of pictures each week than has been possible in the past.
Marlin Waechter, publisher of the Stanton Register, was on hand to assist in the installation. He does an outstanding job of producing highquality pictures in his newspaper each week with the use of a Photo-Lathe.
Photo-Lathe has been on the market for several years. It is being used in numerous progressive weekly newspapers in Nebraska, as well as over the U.S. and in foreign countries.
We ask your understanding during the next few weeks while we are becoming familiar with the equipment. We hope you will find your forthcoming issues of The Times considerably more interesting as more and more pictures appear.
