1963 Times 17 July 6/7 In the field of electronic engraving a German firm, Dr. Ing. Rudolf Hell, are demonstrating their latest type of klischograph. This consists of an electronic scanning instrument, capable of dealing with both black and white and multi-colour reproductions, which operates an engraving stylus to produce a gravure cylinder. Preparation of gravure cylinders can be a lengthy business, and this process, it is claimed, can reduce the time taken from several days to a matter of hours.
