New user here… The printmaking studio I volunteer at has a V. No. 2. I cannot find, feel, or hear a trip mechanism on this press. Is there none? I’d love to make a tympan/frisket arrangement, but I can’t imagine keeping registration on impression both directions. I’d be grateful for enlightenment! Thanks very much.

The No. 2, like the No. 1, 14 and other Roller Series presses do not have a cylinder trip mechanism. You could use bed-mounted grippers (like on a sign press) or make a pin registration.
Please tell me the serial number, studio name, and location for the census.
