Steel Press Points.
Steel press points are often used on cylinder presses such as a Vandercook to prevent slurring of the type at the bottom of the sheet. They are locked in the lower part of the form outside of the printing area. These catch the sheet as it flips away from the cylinder and prevents
it from dragging across the type. They are less than type-high
thus do not print. They measure 10 picas in length, one pica thick, with points separated from each other by 5.5 pica. Made with Linotype lead metal. $40 each.
