 On 31 March, as an April Fool's joke, there appeared this photograph in the Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad of a rotary press on the carriage of an electric tram. The photograph was accompanied by a text saying that 'it would be possible in future to print while driving through the streets and to deliver on street corners to hundreds of runners'.
