Printing Press

They can make about 2,000 prints a day. That is about 1 print per 15-20 seconds, with an effective team. 
You press down the printing press. Hence the term "press" when speaking of journalists and newspaper reporters.

Each letter had to be hand set to spell out words. Notice the type is backwards so that it reads correctly forward once printed.
