Gutenberg-style press built at Bucknell
Clipped to the Drawing Board by Sean  
A Gutenberg-style printing press built this summer at Bucknell University is on its way to Washington, D.C., where it will be featured in a prestigious library exhibit and then be part of the library’s ongoing hands-on education program.

The press, built by George Waltman, director of the university’s product development laboratory, had an interesting history – even before it left the Bucknell campus for its permanent home in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol building.

With very few modifications, the working press is an exact replica of a mechanical engineering senior design project researched, designed and built by three engineering students – Shannon Cooney, Patrick Kunze and Aaron Tajima, all Class of 2001. That hand press had been housed since 2001 for education and demonstration purposes at the Bertrand Library. It, too, lived in cyberspace on Web pages detailing the press.
