Automatic 400 ton Three-Mould Slab Press, c.1962

This was the period when most three mould and single mould slab presses were equipped with push button air control valves (mounted in the pedestal). These and other air valves mounted inside the rear panel sequenced the press operations and provided both single and fully automatic press cycles.
