1953 Los Angeles Times Pressroom Training Films
Former Los Angeles Times Pressman Michael Klop has a collection of historic films on his YouTube page that he thought others would appreciate, and I agreed completely. Mike now works as a press operator at the Seattle Times. Thank you Mike for bringing these old classics to our attention.

This is GREAT
Wow...when I come back in the next life, I want to be a Los Angeles Times pressman!
When we were kids, it was cool to go through the composing room as they were getting the PREVIEW edition ready. The plate makers were always friendly, and if we were lucky, the presses would be rolling at times Mirror Square.
I know times are tough, but "cheers" for all the hard work you do!
