Alf claimed to be the first apprentice “laid down” by gravure, having joined Anglo Engraving in 1910 as a pressman. He was involved in the early use of calico printing machines for gravure and later, in 1914, in the work David Greenhill undertook to produce difficult-to-forge banknotes when letterpress, lithography, and gravure were combined to defeat the forgers’ aspirations. He moved to Watford as a minder, after his war service in 1920, became gravure machine manager in 1927, and gravure manager in 1952. He was responsible for the first all-gravure publication at Sun, Picturegoer, and later, in 1925, for Film Pictorial, which was the first job ever run from chromium-plated cylinders – 175,000 copies without changing doctors or ink. He retired in 1960 and died very shortly afterwards.

He joined Rembrandt in London [West Norwood] as a messenger boy at age fifteen, started an apprenticeship a year later, and moved with the company when it was taken over by Sun Engraving and transferred to Watford; Rembrandt moved into what had been the North’s Speedometer building at the corner of Hagden Lane and Whippendell Road; still an apprentice, LCL lived in a house that had formerly belonged to Mr North (an engineer) and was made available as a hostel for Rembrandt apprentices; on becoming a journeyman he transferred to Sun Engraving, on a 48-hr week; he still lived in Norwood, and travel to Watford took 2 hrs each way every day; in 1937 he married, and bought one of the new houses in Croxley Green; he served (1940-45) in the Royal Navy,on the battleship Revenge, returning to Sun in Jan 1946 and initially ran 2- and 5-unit presses; he took voluntary redundancy in 1975. Len’s unique memories of Rembrandt in London, and the move to Watford, are among his stories on our Reminiscences page. He is unusual among Sun employees in having started a 7-year apprenticeship (as it was in the London area) but ending with a 5-year apprenticeship (as it was with the T.A. in Watford).

He writes, “Towards the end of my national service I wasn’t sure what to do, and I nearly stayed in the army. Due to family connections I was invited to visit Sun for a day. I was most impressed by what I saw: I had no idea that printing existed on such a scale, and with such a high level of technology. I was then in an army radar unit, and had some idea of the current state of electronics. So I jumped at the chance to be a management trainee, at £500 a year. I studied at the Watford College 1-2 days a week and 2 evenings a week, and then switched to the Regent Street Polytechnic for a Certificate of the Institute of Works Management and then the Diploma in Management Studies. After that I spent quite a long time doing on-the-job training in various departments of the company, and was eventually appointed personal assistant to the production director, who at that time was Raymond Walker.

“Along with Digby Wakeman and Roy Evans I was involved in the founding of ‘Sun News,’ the publishing of which we found harder work than we’d expected ... I have had a healthy respect (mostly) for editors, ever since.”

Algy Le Grys was apprenticed as a toolmaker before joining S.Engrv pre-WW2 in grinding and polishing (2 yrs) and then planning; during the war his toolmaking skills were needed elsewhere, and then he went to Odhams for a spell, rejoining S.Print in 1950; he was also one of the editors of the original Sun News; he could trace his ancestry back to Sir Thomas Le Grys, an equerry to Richard, Coeur de Lion.
