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. E.
