Amperage for Vandercook 4T or 219 press

Hello—

The college where I work is in the design phase
of setting up a Letterpress studio.

Can anyone provide the following information for a
Vandercook 4T or 219 model press?

volts, ____amps, _____horsepower, _____phase_____

Your knowledge in this area would be greatly appreciated.
This is very foreign to me.

They should be 110 volt.

Call NA Graphics or visit, http://vandercookpress.info/models.html

The ink motors of both of these models have a low electrical load.
My 4T has these specs on the label:
115/230 v.
4/2 Amps
1/4 HP
Single phase motor

The specs are similar for a hand-cranked 219.
However the motor for a power carriage 219 may be 3 phase.
