Stencil Manufacturing ( part 9)

Stencil Manufacturing ( part 9)

In the 1970s, the demand for stencils decreased. People used the plain paper electrostatic copiers and metal offset plates for making copies. We stopped coating stencils about 1978. For a short time we mounted stencils for Gestetner using rolls of coated stencils sent to us from their Tottenham Plant There were many complaints since they were not as good as the Polychrome coated stencils. Gestetner bought our stencil mounting equipment and sent it to the Marr factory in Middletown Connecticut. I went there several times to set up the equipment and teach their personnel how to operate it.
