History of The Adana
Originally founded as The Adana Agency in 1922 by Donald Aspinall, the company's assets were bought by Frederick Ayers in 1940 and the company relaunched as Adana (Printing Machines) Limited in 1946. In 1990 the assets were again sold, this time to Caslon Limited who continued to produce a small number of presses for a further nine years. Throughout the years, both the company and its presses were usually referred to as "Adana" or "The Adana".

“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
