PUPILS TOUR
SIGNAL -STAR
The Victoria Public Schoel
classes of Mrs. Arnold Fisher
were recently taken on a con-
ducted tour of the Signal -Star �
by Mr. George Jenner. Among
the machinery in which they
showed interest was the -new
scanograving -machine located
in the newly built Signal -Star
plant at the rear of the 'present!
one and facing on Lighthouse
street.
Letters of thanks have since
been received by : the Signal -Star.
from two of the pupils pn the
tour, Elaine" Berry wrote, in
.part: "Thanks to you and your
employees for lending a hand
and explaining -how the + ma-
chines of the. Signal -Star oper-
ate. I was very interested in
the whole layout but the one
that topped them off was the
machine that makes dots to
produce newspaper ' pictures.
The way "the Signal -Star is print-
ed is very different to the way
we put out our monthly paper
on the Gestetner. Not many
people have a chance to see
your machines in action and it
was very kind of you to let us
look through the- Signal -Star
plant." ,
Wrote Ann Aldis:."We were
quite intrigued with the ma-
chine which makes' the pictures.
Really, wederived quite •a bit
from the tour. If it had not
been for your kindness and.that
of the employees to take time
off to show us around we prob-
ably would be still reading the
newspaper completely unaware
of all the fascinating work that
is behind it." -
