Improved galley press, used for pulling proofs in "galleys."
Registered plough cutting machine, calculated to cut with ease any kind of paper or card.
Numerical printing apparatus, calculated to print a few lines with a number attached, which alters consecutively up to 99,999 with each impression, or alternatively, as may be required. The printing is effected by laying the paper on the surface, and then simply bringing the handle to a horizontal position and pressing on the paper, the action of which not only effects the inking of the type and figures, but the distribution of the ink and printing.
Seamless composition printing rollers for wood-cut and fine printing.
Improved composition balls for printing.
[These rollers and balls are intended to distribute the ink evenly over the surface of the type. In fine printing and wood-cut printing, the equal distribution of the ink is of great consequence to the perfection of the work.]
