Fleet: one shared hydraulic and air supply; room for ten more Classics

User, October 2026: the presses run from one shared hydraulic supply
and one compressed-air supply, and the plant may add up to ten more
Newbilt Classics at some point.

- pressing-line: fleet table and intro (shared central supply), new
  bullets on the shared supply and the expansion option, re-quote point
  (central supply for the whole fleet, extendable, can the Classic run
  from it), Hydraulics bullet now the plan.
- scale: "Expansion (option)" capacity row, ~4.7 to 5.8M records/yr on
  the same basis, explicitly outside revenue model and investment;
  utilities note: fifteen presses would need ~2.3 to 2.7 t/h steam and
  up to ~1.9 MW cooling, a utility phase of its own.
