Engineer’s Week Demo Day

Join us for Engineer’s Week to experience the Museum come to life. A volunteer panel of retired printers and compositors, as well as volunteers from the Skills Transfer Programme, will demonstrate our collection in action. From the Linotype composing machine to the Wharfdale printing press to the Shaw Pen Ruling machine, witness the incredibly complex technologies that were used for centuries before our modern digital printers.

Free, drop-in.
