A rotogravure printing press, this one had 10 color printing stations, was 1.5 meters wide, about as tall as a 2 story building, & about as long as 2 inter-city busses parked end to end. They are VERY big, impressive machines.Some of the aluminum rollers on this one, you could spin them w/yr hand, walk away, & they'd still be spinning 5 minutes later.. We had 8 presses, 6 of them were almost as wide as the Cerruti, we were able to "retire" 5 of those because it was so much more efficient. We were package printers, specialising in the food & tobacco industries. Cerruti is one of the "Big Dawgs" in the industry, a LOT of what you read was prolly printed on a Cerruti press somewhere...
