  • ALT1:... that Blanche McVeigh's home workshop included a Sturges printing press so large and heavy that the floor needed to be shored up to support it? Source: "She too kept a small press in her house, but later became one of the few people in the country to own one of the new Sturges presses, so heavy and formidable that McVeigh was forced to shore up the floor of her pier-and-beam house to keep it from crashing through.

Molly628 was the creator of the stub, SaturdayLibrarian was the creator of the draft, and I (DESiegel) polished the draft, accepted it, and did the merge.

• This article seems to meet the DYK age and length requirements, although its history is a little unclear. Approving the ALT1 hook, which is more interesting. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:34, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
