I worked for a company called Sakurai Machinery in the 80's and sold some Oliver litho printing presses to Kalamazoo. I particularly remember a lovely gentleman called Reg Garrett who I believe managed the print department then. I took a carful of guys from the printing department to our showroom in Hounslow to see and evaluate the presses. I got the order and went on to sell a few presses to Kalamazoo. I was a bit of a rookie then and selling these presses to Kalamazoo was a major coup for me at the time. Good wishes to anyone who remembers me.
