Stanhope press [1] - by cls

The Arrival of the Stanhope

— Well, she's here at last…
— Who?
— Not who: what! The Stanhope press!…
— And?
— Well, getting her here wasn't quite as straightforward as you might think… Getting her up onto the flatbed truck presented no problem, thanks to the printing works' forklift, where she had been standing guard at the entrance, dozing away for the past few years after a long and industrious career. The journey itself went without a hitch. But getting her into her final resting place in the workshop proved to be quite another matter. The story in stills and moving pictures. The photographic and film coverage is courtesy of Catherine Chauvel.

The CLS is waiting at the entrance gate to welcome the flatbed truck, its driver… and the Stanhope.

A third accomplice now joins the party, at the wheel of his mighty Manitou (a large agricultural machine fitted with forks), ready to carry the Stanhope, perched on the tips of its forks, all the way to the workshop entrance, via the garden. There's a little slope to negotiate. The CLS is beginning to feel a tad apprehensive…

The Manitou, with the Stanhope suspended in mid-air, reaches the workshop door.

A triumphant arrival! The Stanhope seems as light as a gazelle. She's practically floating… And since she appears to have a taste for physical exercise, we decide to fit her with roller skates. Unlike us bipeds, who have only two feet, she has four — so four sets of three-wheeled skates are called for to get her across the workshop. One must do things properly.

Attaching the roller skates with straps.

Now perched on her skates, the Stanhope attempts to glide gracefully across the smooth workshop floor. But, without wishing to be unkind, her considerable weight does little to enhance her skating performance.

A little offended, perhaps, she decides to stay exactly where she is… much to the dismay of the bipeds gathered around her.

The three bipeds consequently feel obliged to lend a hand and help her make her way to her final position.

She's arrived! But now that the physical exertions are over, we'll have to take her roller skates off. And that, as it happens, will be the subject of Part Two of Miss Stanhope's adventures at Fornax…
