Thank you Treetotal and Gan Yam for these posts.
I know on an old reader you just change the size of the lens to view different sizes.
I will certainly mention what you have been told when I next go to North Shields local studies. Although, I have already recently been told that technology department say it can't be done. So I don't know if it is anything with the way the newspaper I wanted to look at was filmed originally. I will definitely ask about this. It is a while since I have been to South Shields library to use a machine - they have all modern machines there. However, it does seem possible there to view a full page of newspaper, so I am not sure why it is not possible at North Shields.
I know that the old machines will likely not keep going forever, and one day they will all eventually get replaced by new machines. I have since noticed that Newcastle now has three new machines .. but most people still seem to go to the old ones if these are free.
