How does it go?

Everyone did not on the occasion to visit DNA and although that is possible for almost everyone, therefore to say some words on the inner working is interesting (only end of the chain for the moment).

A rotary printing-press

Immense 50 meters length machine, 15 meters broad and height, this rotary printing-press prints: 51000 specimens per hour. One second rotary printing-press, slower prints it also part of the edition. Lastly, a last is there in the event of major breakage.

Machines and human

The newspapers with leaving the rotary printing-press will be rolled up on immense rollers. There are new rollers around whose the newspapers are rolled up. There are six machines making it possible to insert (to put publicities in the newspapers), there are three rollers per pair of machines to insert. This method allows in the event of stopping of one or the two machines of encartages not to stop the rotary printing-press.

Publicities are arranged on pallets and the spot is to put them inside the newspapers. The spot of the " encarteurs" is to take these inserts, to air them (as a paper ream is aired) and to lay out them in a vat where they will be caught by lower parts one by one and will be propelled in the newspaper which is as a preliminary open by the machine.
