In this photo from a Vandercook & Sons exhibit at the American Photoengravers Association convention there is a press shown with a reciprocating bed. Is this in the era of the Hacker buyout, or did Vandercook make a press with a travelling bed?

I think the press on the far left is a Hacker No.7. The middle press looks to be a Vandercook 232, which was introduced in 1937, and the press on the right is a 427.
