Summary/Abstract: The third dfltegal prinlang-office in Gorenjska (The Upland of Slovenia) was called »DONAS« by the partisan printers, after the constructor of two printing-presses for the partisan printing-offices in Gorenjska, Edo Bregar (whose partisan surname was »Don«), and Ms fellow-worker Nasta Sesek: the syllables »Don« and »Nas« joined gave »Donas«. This printing-office started working August 20* 1944. A bunker was built for it in the Ločnica valley near Medvode in Gorenjska, not far from another illegal printing-office, »Trilotf«. For the printing-office »Donas« the printing-press was also constructed by Edo Bregar-Don, a technician, who was the manager of this printery for the whole time of its illegal functioning. The machine was rather big, having been built for the printing of pemiodicails and other large-sized (folio) publications. This machine was technicaily more complete than the one in the »Trilof« printing-office, since it had even an automatic inking-roMer, and it weighed about 550 kg. as a whole.
