i.d. huge Hoe 1947-1948
Writing Oregonian’s history. Need i.d. name and/or model 14-unit 608-ton Hoe, Pacific NW’s largest when installed 1947-48. Three 1948-58 photos at https://www.historicphotoarchive.net/ (search “Oregonian”). In various (max) 56-pg sections, printed black or 2-color with some 4-pg color; automatic paster. What year was it a new model—postwar or prewar decade at least?
How about you search for book “Chronicles of Genius and Folly”. History of Hoe.
I already did, alas.
H.H.S.
You have no doubt searched the Hoe archive at Columbia University Library? http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/archival/collections/ldpd_4078901/
