Schmidt Lithography (as is evident by your scan) employed a 33-inch wide press track, while American Litho. (ALC) used a much narrower press
track. My research indicates that (ALC) used a 19-inch press track.
Indeed, Schmidt Litho. (circa 1910) was one of the best in the Lithographic industry.

Ted - T207s, I thought, were printed at ALC? If this is, indeed, the case, the card pictured above seems to clearly indicate that certain cards on the sheet were oriented differently, does it not? On the left side of the T207 I pictured above, you can clearly see two distinct top borders of other cards. This has to mean that while most cards were oriented vertically across the sheet, there was at least 1 row oriented horizontally on the same sheet.
This may illustrate it better:
