The London Times, which has not missed a day of publication since it first came out in 1788, this week showed how it hopes to make sure that it never will. The Times put on display a mobile newspaper plant which could produce 12,000 eight-page tabloid copies of the paper an hour, if the London plant were put out of commission. In three trailers and five trucks, the mobile unit has Linotype and stereotype machines, presses, typewriters, electric generators, and even desks for editors. The vehicles are connected by radio, so that the Linotypes in two of them can be operated by remote control from other trucks in the unit. If the Times should have to move from its plant in London in an emergency, the mobile unit would be supplied with news and instructions from two new high-powered radio transmitters the Times has built, one in London, the other in the country.
