Does a Vandercook No. 5 have grippers?
I can’t find any pics that show conclusively one way or the other. Does anyone know for sure if a No. 05 has paper grippers?

Hello,
I would suspect it does not. This is a galley proof press. The sheet is placed over the form, not fed to a cylinder. I suspect it also has a rubber-coated cylinder.
