A Dutch pass for a special printing press

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm today

A retired New Zealand printing press, thought to be the only one of its kind in the world, has been saved from the scrap heap and will soon head off to the Netherlands. The Cossar printing press, recently based in Pahiatua's Bush Telegraph office, is destined for display in a Dutch printing museum.
