Waite Saville

In understanding the functioning of the Waite & Saville (or Voirin printing presses) there is a lot missing!

Die stamping is NOT the usual type of recess we know of banknote printing companies or the later WIFAG or GOEBEL presses...

In the 1968 article (first posting) we read that the stamps were printed in pairs of sheets of 30 (the airmail stamps) - de dos en dos - this can NOT be true.

Each "sheet" of 30 was "stamped" one after the other! And may be perforated immediately as well... You can tell this by the same characteristics of the design present in 3 consecutive "sheets" and as to the perforation the same characteristics are present in each "sheet". Another aspect is that the "double sheets" as how they apparently were available at the post office counters show sideways shifts of both the individual "sheet" of 30 AND their 'box"-perforation



The sheets numbered 21671, 21669 and 21670 from top to bottom.
