近距离内射合集

鈥淗appy Days鈥� was in its ninth season when the 近距离内射合集 and then-Albuquerque Tribune buried a time capsule at Journal Center in October 1981.

More than 44 years later, on April 1, Journal Publisher Bill Lang had the time capsule unearthed as the company began dismantling its pressroom to prepare for its next chapter. The paper will still print seven days a week, but the Journal is selling its far-too-large headquarters having moved its printing to Santa Fe years ago.

Last year, Lang announced the estimated 287,000-square-foot newspaper campus would be put up for sale. Whenever the sale is finalized, a piece of the Journal鈥檚 history will be gone, though never forgotten.

鈥淚n the newspaper industry, there are many traditions,鈥� he said. 鈥淥ne of those traditions is to create a time capsule when we install a new newspaper press. In 1981, when we built our production building in Journal Center, we buried a time capsule inside the steel support holding over 40,000 pounds per press unit. Inside the time capsule are items representing Albuquerque, our nation and businesses 鈥︹��

As Lang sorted through the historic cache, he came across items such as cash, a set of coins, a pica pole, a map and a street guide. He also found issues of the Journal and Tribune, notably the Oct. 25, 1981, edition of The Sunday Journal 鈥� a 158-page paper with several sections.

鈥淚sn鈥檛 that amazing?鈥� Lang asked as he held that paper. 鈥淚t was a different day and time.鈥�

On Thursday, he briefly looked back at the company鈥檚 five decades at Journal Center.

鈥淚t was a pretty special time,鈥� Lang said.

鈥楢 landmark for Albuquerque鈥�

In 1979, plans to build the industrial park were approved by the city of Albuquerque鈥檚 Environmental Planning Commission, the Journal reported. At the time, the Journal and Tribune were located at Seventh Street and Silver Avenue in Downtown, but Lang said 鈥渨e needed to have the capacity we didn鈥檛 have Downtown.鈥�

鈥淎s you can imagine, we鈥檙e producing well over 100,000 papers on a daily and Sunday basis and running them all around Downtown, all over the place,鈥� he said. 鈥淪o, this gave us more ability to produce more efficiently.鈥�

The industrial park, located on the northern edge of the city off Jefferson Street, would become the new home for the newspapers. The area could house a 60-day supply of the 2,200-pound newsprint rolls that fed the Metroliner presses, the Sept. 19, 1982, Journal reported.

To support the estimated 400-ton presses, the article states, 鈥渨orkmen sank 25-foot-deep concrete piers in the ground beneath the press bays. A 3-foot-thick reinforced concrete pad was then poured on top of the piers.鈥� The presses, each capable of printing 75,000 papers an hour, were housed in the aluminum-walled pressroom, according to the Journal.

The presses were installed by Masthead International Inc., a company formed by T.H. Lang, Harry Anderson and Sanford Walker in the early 1970s, the Journal reported.

Inside the time capsule was a photo of Walker and a piece of cardboard signed by the people who installed the presses.

鈥淭hey thought it was equally important to be part of a historic moment,鈥� Bill Lang said.

When the newspapers started rolling off the presses, a conveyor system carried them to the top of the presses and into the mailroom, where inserts were placed into the Sunday issue or advertising supplements were added, the Journal reported.

鈥淚t was quite an ordeal to do that,鈥� Lang said. 鈥淢ost people didn鈥檛 understand what it took to get there. They just know it shows up to the door and that鈥檚 it.鈥�

Over the years, the campus expanded and now includes about 117,000 square feet of office space and more than 140,000 square feet of industrial space, the Journal reported.

鈥淚t鈥檚 really turned into a landmark for Albuquerque,鈥� Lang said. 

As he looked at the old dollar bills, Lang said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of fun to remember where you were at one time.鈥�

As the Journal looks back this year on 100 years of family ownership, it also looks ahead to a new-age headquarters to carry the paper through the next century.
