[rollei_list] Re: Rollei Digital (Junk)!

The Windmill was not a very safe press - flying about like that with just
the one guard.  I always thought that the early black Speedmasters (without
any electronics) were more like the Rolleiflex TLR.

I remember a German in Waldorf (just south of Heidelberg) who would set his
type using a Linotype, pull a copy off his proof press, photograph it with
his copy camera and run it offset on one of them new fangled Heidleberg
GTO's - this would be circa 1976.  The typesetting guilds were not happy
with the revolution in cold type.

The Heidelberg Automatic T Platen press, lovingly known as the 10x15  
Windmill is a printing press - best job press press ever built. God  
only knows how many were built, but they're all over the world.  
Production stopped sometime in the late 70s. Parts still available  
(at a premium). It's pretty much the Printing press equivalent of the  
Rolleiflex TLR.
