ROLLER CORES FOR TABLETOP PRESS
Two rollers for unknown tabletop press.
Two rollers for some tabletop press. The cores (shafts) are 11¾" x ¼", smooth (no lugs to engage trucks). While the synthetic covering (about 15/16" diameter) is perfectly intact, not damaged or mouse-chewed, their durometer reading is around 40, which indicates hardening with age. They might still work on your press but really ought to be sent in for recovering. (We recommend Ramco in Los Angeles.)
In the photo the rollers are resting on genuine
Skyline Type Foundry plastic "Roller Chairs" from Larry Raid's Pry Plastics. These are not included in the sale.

ROLLER KEEPERS
Set of 2
Ever had your press throw a roller? Best case—it jumps out, falls free of the press, and gets ink all over the floor. Worst case—it falls down inside, jams the press when it closes; the roller is ruined, one or both sidearms of the press shatter, and you go to the emergency room with shrapnel wounds. Not pretty!
These simple little keepers came as standard equipment on Gordon-style presses but in many cases have been removed and lost over the years. We have fabricated replacement keepers for several of our own presses, and now offer them to you as well. They're made from 0.095" copper-plated steel rod and will fit right into the holes on your roller saddles. Just insert them in the saddle and put a slight bend in the bottom
Skyline Type Foundry end, and you're protected forever against the multitudinous evils of a thrown roller.
(The photo is of a keeper made for our own 1905 C&P 7x11, just now coming out of a full restoration. No, the press is not for sale!)

BIAS FURNITURE SET
Instantly converts your standard chase to a bias chase.
Best practice when locking up a form is of course to have the lines of type parallel to the rollers. Setting the form at a slight angle, however, will make the initial contact of the rollers on the type smoother. But that's not the primary reason for using bias furniture. When printing a box border, or any form with rule or a line of type perpendicular to the rollers, the full length of that line will contact the surface of the roller at the same place in its circumference, which results in poor inking. Bias furniture introduces a slight angle to the form so that the vertical line or border contacts the roller in a gentle spiral. We consulted our alchemist's charts and determined that the optimum angle for this would be 1 degree, 7 minutes, 24.6 seconds. Bias furniture is a simple, inexpensive item that will facilitate a permanent improvement in your platen presswork.
Sets are in stock for 8×12 and 10×15 presses, but we can make them for any chase size—just send us an email with your request. (Really big sizes may require special packaging and extra postage beyond our flat rate.)
