An article about Cossar presses in Australia and New Zealand has appeared in both the print and online versions of GXPress. As well as the history of the press there are recollections from printers who worked with the ‘Cossar Patent Flat Bed Web Newspaper Printing Machine’, and Peter Coleman lists an impressive number of newspaper titles which were printed on them.
The Crieff Cossar, which we believe to be the only working example of the first model left, has now been rebuilt and is in temporary storage in Govan. It will move to the National Museums Collections Centre in Edinburgh once current development plans are in place.
