We had 2 Miehle V-65's and also 3 McAllens. I never ran any of them, although they were fun to watch (and NOISY!). They were for side bound check books with 3 or 4 checks to a page. Paper would stop on the first set of register fingers, type would come down on it. Fingers go down, type goes up and is re-inked while paper advances to next set of register fingers, type comes down, repeat... you could use 1, 2, or 3 sets of fingers, depending on how many checks you wanted on a page.
I ran a V-65 up in Tulsa with an outfit called Stafford-Lawdon for a couple of years in the 70's. We did personalized checks 12 up w/numbering machines and magnetic ink (so the check sorting machines could read them) . We had a guy setting the people's name and address and account number on a Harris Intertype, had a tray full of cuts of maybe 200 different bank logos. Mine had a gas flame drier on the delivery side, I used to light my cigarettes on it, ha ha.
I worked as a stone hand doing lock ups for these presses, we had a 36 and 2 45's and they turned out a stack of work. We have one operating at Gulgong Museum in Australia and another for spares, great machines. Arthur
I run one of these. Got my arm caught between the feeder arm and feeder arm stop. Yeah it hurt.
