Why did the Treasury make a 1957 series of US 1 dollar silver certificates?

Up till 1974 the standard practice was to change series dates only when a bill underwent a major redesign. Thus it's seemingly odd that 1957 $1 bills carry essentially the same design as bills from the 1935 series. The reason happened Behind the Scenes:
Rather than being printed one at a time, all US bills are printed in groups on large sheets of paper before being cut into individual bills. Until 1957 the presses used by Bureau of Engraving and Printing could only hold sheets large enough for a group of 18 bills. That year the BEP started phasing in new, more-efficient presses that could produce 32 bills at a time. To keep production runs distinct during the transition period, the 1957 series was used for all $1 bills printed on the new presses while bills produced on the old presses continued to carry a 1935 series date. That unusual situation, which saw simultaneous production of series dated 22 years apart, continued until 1963.
