Haarlem's Daily Paper; The Technical Design of a Modern Newspaper Company
A Dutch film in two parts in which the entire process – from producing the newspaper to delivering it – is explained. We see shots of the editorial and administrative offices located on Groote Houtstraat 93, and the entrance to the printing buildings at Zuider Buiten Spaarne. Making the newspaper: typesetting the adverts, the typesetting machine, the design of the newspaper, the letterforms being pressed onto the damp raster, the electric drying drum, the raster being placed in the casting machine, the plates being mounted to the rotary machine, and the printing of the newspaper. We also see the newspaper being delivered via automobile and via paperboy. (There are also images of Haarlem shot from the Grote Kerk).
