It took Alexander almost three years, with one year of that being when Alexander really paid his attention to solving all those teething problems, that the printing press could finally come to life this summer.
Alexander was at last able to manufacture the machine and hire enough people to make the whole thing finally operational, thus finally being able to print books.
Alexander at the moment ran ten such presses, with plans to make it into twenty in the future.
Most of the workers there were involved in manufacturing the template for each of the book pages, meaning they spent most of the day looking at a book page, and meticulously copying it onto the special metal bed using the metal molds.
Once one page was made, they would run a test run to check for any spelling mistakes and then adjust according.
