Squeezing the quart into the pint pot. Retired teacher Martin Phillipson asked us to remove this Albion from his former school to his home address in Essex. Stage one was very quick and Giles and I were soon at the home address to install this press.The first picture shows the narrow gap the press needed to go through. We had to make a sled to go on the pallet truck and lower the press longways onto it. The press had to travel through the house over carpets and floorboards then down the garden into the shed. It was one of the narrowest yet and there was just enought space to re-erect it once in the final location. This was the day after we did the large Columbian. We were both shattered after all this work! The following day we had to remove a large proof press from a basement and got a parking ticket again in central London. How do people get anything done?
