After five years of effort and experimentation, he ultimately succeeded in modifying an offset printing press designed for book printing and adapting it for printing newspapers: the resulting Vanguard web offset press, which he unveiled in 1954, reduced the cost, time, and manual labor required to print newspapers, which was especially beneficial to small newspapers. Due to his invention, he is sometimes referred to as the "Orville Wright" or "Wilbur Wright" of offset newspaper publishing. (en)
