Printed with Albert Nathan &• Co''s Printing Inks

PREFACE.This book contains a very complete selection of the choicest

and most approved Type and Borders made by this Company.Specimen Books usually show all that a Type foundry makes,

but an examination of the contents of this book will convince

the Printer that our selection excels the complete product ofother Type foundries not only in design, originality and accu-

racy of the faces, but also in variety and completeness. The

durability of our Type is assured by the use of the celebrated

Copper Alloy Type Metal.

It is conceded that the Type made by this Company is the

standard of excellence throughout the world. Every endeavor

is made to advance that standard. Our Type embodies all the

mechanical merits with a marked superiority in design—the chief

merit of Type, without which it will not satisfy the public that

pays the printer for good printing. No matter how much skill

may be employed in composition and presswork, nor how good

the paper and ink that are used in printing, if the design of the

Type is inartistic and inferior the work will fail to be satisfac-

tory. Our Type is therefore of superior value to the Printer,

though poundfor pound it may cost no more than Type of inferior

design, and a printing office completely furnished with the pro-

ducts of this Company is worth more, for either use or sale, than

when made upfrom the productions of incomplete Type foundries.

The Catalogue of Printing Machinery and Supplies at the

end of this booh is the most complete ever issued. Jjs the largest

purchaser of Printing Machinery and Materials in the world,

this Company commands the best of everything for the Printer,

and has Unsurpassed facilities for meeting the requirements of

printing offices, from the smallest to the most extensive.

AMERICAN POINT SYSTEM OF TYPE BODIES.

The purpose of the American point system of type bodies is to give a uniformstandard to type, leads, furniture and brass rules, and this standard is based on a point

which is one-twelfth of Pica bodywise. All type bodies being multiples of the point, it

follows that justification can be made rapidly and accurately by using point-body leads

or slugs. The engravings on this page show all point bodies except 54, 84, 96 and 120.

The equivalent names of the old bodies are given on page 9.

AMERICAN TYPE FOUNDERS COMPANY

HOW TO ESTIMATE.To ascertain the quantity of body type required for a publication, find the number of

square inches and divide the same by four, and the quotient will be the approximate weightof type required ; but, as it is impossible to set the cases entirely clear, it is necessary to

add 25 per cent, to the weight of large fonts, and 33H per cent, to small fonts, to allow for

dead letter.

TABLE FOR NEWSPAPER ESTIMATES.Showing the number of ems of the different sizes of newspaper type in a line, the

number of lines necessary to make 1000 ems, and the length in inches ; the number of

ems in the regular lengths of columns, and number of leads required. There are 66

13-em 2-point leads in one pound.

ESTIMATED ON WIDTH OF STANDARD COL.UMN, 13 EMS PICA.

TYPE STANDARDS.The following is the standard adopted by the International Typographical Union.

The basis of measurement is the lower-case alphabet, from a to z inclusive, and the ems

used are the same body as the type measured :

DESCRIPTION OF SELF SPACING TYPE

The common widths of book pages, mis-

cellaneous jobs and newspaper columns are

some number of Pica ems, therefore the Pica

em is taken as the basis for Self Spacingtype. The thinnest space in all fonts is someexact fraction of a Pica, and this fraction

of Pica is called the unit of measure. All

characters, spaces and quads in the font are

made some exact multiple of this unit in

width, so that the sizes of all faces will workperfectly together in the regular labor-sav-ing measures. This unit of measure maybe one-sixth, one-seventh, one-eighth, one-ninth, etc., of a Pica em, as may be desired,

to produce condensed, medium or extendedfaces. The following table gives the sizes of

bodies, units of measure, and lengths of al-

phabets. In the first column will be foundthe various sizes of bodies; in the second,the number of units contained in one emPica, and in the third the measurements ofa lower case alphabet in the ems of eachparticular body

:

In the matter of the correction of proofs the

gain is enormous. Say there is an "a" for

"e"; as "a" is four -units wide and "e"

three, "e" and one unit space justify the

line perfectly. Even this measure of trouble

is avoided in many instances. As twenty-eight of the most common lower case char-

acters are of the same width, they can besubstituted for one another without the

change of a space.

This type is of greater durability, as it is

always on its feet and is therefore not wornby "pounding."

In tabular work there is a great gain in

speed and neatness. By the addition of a

new character, viz: "|", it is easy to set

perpendicular lines of any length, line uponline.

It may be repeated that the compositorhas nothing to learn in Self Spacing type.

There is but a single direction to be given

—

to set that which looks like the em quad(six unit quad) with the nick out.

Whoever will study the principle on whichSelf Spacing type is based, will readily ad-

mit that it is bound to secure easy and per-

fect justification, greatly increased speed

and consequent enormous saving, simplicity

and rapidity of proof correction, and in-

creased accuracy and ease in the setting of

tables. All these points are beyond ques-

tion, as certainly as the proposition thattwo and two make four is not open to ar-

gument. No rational person can doubtthem.The following piece of composition was

done in a 12^-em measure stick, and set

line upon line in the ordinary manner of

straight reading matter, the lower part

being leaded to show the method of setting.

To further explain and illustrate the ease

with which table work is done with Self

Spacing type, we show above an exampleof miscellaneous justifications, which is ab-

solutely impossible to accomplish with the

old kind of type. In column No. 1 the first

line begins with the lower case "i", twounits wide, which is followed by the upright

dash"|",two units, and the characters "a",

four units, "n", four units, "d", four units,

comprising sixteen units to accurately fill

the column. The second line begins withthe letter "s," three units wide, whichthrows the space rule one unit further to

the right than in the preceding line. In each

succeeding line lower case characters are

used to the total width of sixteen units, andsuch characters are chosen for the first partthereof as will admit of advancing the space

rule to the right exactly one unit in each

succeeding line.

In the other columns the same plan is fol-

lowed, the only change being the substitu-

tion of caps, small caps, figures, etc., for the

lower case characters, all columns comingperfectly justified inside the perpendicular

lines.

Self Spacing Signs

These signs are furnishedfor every face of Self Spacing type, and may be used with point system

bodies. When ordering state size of body and {if Self Spacing) number offace wanted.

PRECEPTS IMPARTED TO THE MASTER AS WELL AS THE APPRENTICE

Lecture on Thoroughness

Thoroughness in printing offices is an accomplishment that is often neglected by those who are learning

and by those who are practicing the principles contained in our high and noble calling. While it is true

that much is left to the taste and judgment of the workman, and much of his success depends upon the

cultivation of taste and exercise of judgment, it is also true that there are numerous important fixed rules

and principles that no sensible printer will care to ignore; and if he does run counter to them he does so

at his own risk, and in the end will be more harmed than benefited by his own stubbornness or ignorance.

Most printers, who set themselves up as original and artistic printers, are original botches, and they con-tinue to hold their own through life, or until some accident or combination of circumstances forces them tosee their weakness, when, if they are not too proud and conceited, they may, by patient industry and per-severance, hope to become workmen of ordinary ability, and spend the remainder of their days in quietusefulness. Artistic workmen are few indeed. If a person has enough artistic ability to be able at all

times to create forms of beauty and symmetry that will be the wonder of his less fortunate neighbors, hecan always find employment more remunerative. "Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well,"is a maxim that few follow because many do not know how. Cheap Printing may serve a cheap man, but

SOME ANNOYING HABITS POSSESSED BY THE SLOUCHY PRINTER

COMMENT ON THE SLOUCH

A number of interesting experiments are performed by compositors in the several

processes of setting, correcting and distributing type, that may be justly classified

outside the pale of typographic tolerance. As long as the offender is unnoticed or not

discovered in his mean habits, just so long will he continue to exercise them. These

practices, as we all know, are confined only to the more incompetent, or to the work-man who is intentionally slovenly. They mark his course at every tum in the office,

and require little investigation to establish their rightful originator. What a source ofannoyance it is to the careful man to lift a handful of matter for distribution and find it

plentifully interlarded with bent spaces. This is the lazy man or slouch graphicallyillustrated. A bent space might accidently occur in the matter, and such a fact mighthappen more than once and be forgiven ; but where the premeditated reminder of so muchcareless and slouchy spacing comes into the hands of careful printers who use their best

THE EVILS THAT BESET THE PRINTERS WHO GET LOW PRICESlow-priced job Work

It has been said that there is less profit in the printing business, for the

amount of capital invested and the amount of energy required, than in most other

lines of business. There is considerable truth in this without a doubt; though,

in a great measure the fact of its possessing any truth is more attributable to

the loose methods that some printers resort to, than to anything essentiallynecessary to and in fact forming a part of the business itself. "It is due to abuseswhich have grown up within the business, and are tolerated by those engaged in

it, that it has become unprofitable. Take, for instance, the system of dailysoliciting of estimates as practiced by stationers everywhere. ' Many people,through convenience or friendship, give their orders for printing to their stationers.Use printers' ink applied by me, and you will never meet the sheriff with a red flag.

A CLASS OF MEN WHO NEED ALL THE CUFFS THEY GETScoring the Printer

Does the printer read up in his profession as thoroughly as he

should ? I should say not. It is a deplorable fact, but nevertheless

true, that, as a class, the printers of this country do not keep read

up on the subject of printing to any extent. Where you find one

that does, you will find a dozen that do not. In this day every office

in the land is kept supplied with all manner of craft journals, speci-

men sheets of late faces, and numberless circulars describing newinventions and novelties made for the use of the printer

;yet but

very few avail themselves of these opportunities to extend their

knowledge of the art that gains them a living. More offices thanone in the country have dozens of printers in their employ not oneof whom ever reads a craft publication. These men work day after

day, simply following furrow after furrow, like a horse dragging a

plow, with no object before them except longing for dinner-time or

supper-time, or Sunday. And yet these men are to be called printers.

Two small heads are better than one "big head" in the work shop.

A COMPOSITOR, unless he is a natural genius, should spend long years in study and patient

practice, cultivating his taste and strengthening his judgment, before he enters far into the

domain of original designing, if he wishes to give better satisfaction to his employers and

In 1794 he arrived atPhiladelphia, aboard the sailing-vesselProvidence. Shortly after his arrival herenewed his acquaintance with Archi-bald Binny, whom he had formerly metwhen living in Scotland. For a year ortwo after his arrival in this countryRonaldson carried on a biscuit bakery.His establishment was destroyed by fire

in 1796, so that he found himself out ofan occupation. It is related that aboutthis time he encountered Binny in anale-house; their acquaintance ripenedinto a friendly intimacy, and they soonlearned each other's views and prospects.The result was that a copartnership wasformed between them, beginning Nov.i, 1796, establishing the first permanenttype-foundry in this country. Ronaldsoncontributed the greater portion of thecapital, and took charge of the financialPart of the enterprise. Binny, who wasa practical type-founder, and at one timehad carried on the business at Edinburgh,

contributed his tools, stock of metal,and types, and assumed control of themechanical department. The connectionproved advantageous to each party, anda prosperous business was the result.

American printers, who had up to thistime relied on British founders for theirtype, patronized the new establishment,and, to quote the words of Ronaldson,"the importation of foreign type ceasedin proportion as Binny & Ronaldsonbecame known to the printers of theUnited States." The type-founding toolsand material, which Benjamin Franklinhad brought with him from France for hisown convenience in casting sorts, cameinto possession of the firm in 1806. AfterDr. Franklin's death, they became theproperty of Mr. Duane, a relative of thephilosopher, who, justly appreciating thetrue ardor with which Messrs. Binny &Ronaldson endeavored to succeed, offeredthem the loan of these tools. After anexamination of them by Ronaldson, hewas so much pleased with the superiorityof a number of them over their own, andfearing that Mr. Duane might change his

Century Roman

THE first number of The Century appeared

in a modernized old-style type, which

was then something of a novelty. It had

never been used in any similar publication,

and it gave distinction to the page. It had

authority in its favor, as the outgrowth of a

style (shown on pages 60—62, of the speci-

men book), introduced by William Caslonof London about 1720, and then so pleas-

ingly cut that it broke down every attempt

at rivalry. For seventy years it was com-

mended as incomparably the best cut of

type, but it went out of fashion. At the

beginning of the present century readers

complained of its angularity and grayness.

THEY demanded new styles, and the type-

founders provided them in profusion:

the Thome fat-face of prodigious blackness;

the Didot round-face, not quite as black or

fat-faced; the Bodoni, with round letters and

sharp hair-lines; the French poetic face, com-

pressed to the extreme of tenuity; the so-

called Scotch-face (devised by the late S. N.

Dickinson of Boston, who established the

Dickinson Type Foundry, the Boston Branch

of the American Type Founders' Company,

although first cut in Edinburgh); and the

skeleton light-face, with its razor-edged

WHEN Pickering and Whittingham revived the Caslon Old-Style, in 1850, using

the identical matrices of the old master, the connoisseurs said, "Now at last wehave returned to simplicity and beauty : this is perfection." Yet it was admired

by bibliophiles only ; dainty readers did not approve of its angular letters and its

disproportioned capitals. Accepted for reprints of old books, it was rejected for

modern work. To make it palatable to the general reader, type-founders devised

a "modernized old-style," in which harsh features were modified and new features

of greater delicacy were added. So changed, it became a more salable letter, but

it never found marked favor with the ordinary newspaper or the book publisher.

Critics said of it (too severely, we think) that the strong features of the Caslon face

had been suppressed, and that the new features were no improvement ; that it had

been made lighter, sharper, and broader, until its true character had been cut to pieces.

BIBLIOPHILES still prefer the cut of Caslon ; with all its admitted faults,

it is blacker, clearer, and more readable. The average reader rejects the

angularities of the old and the new cut, and prefers the symmetry of types

of modern fashion. In the bewildering variety of faces devised during this

century, one peculiarity, the sharp hair-line (a fashion introduced by Bodoniand Didot, in imitation of the delicate lines of the copper-plate printer), has

never been changed. When printing was done upon wet paper, against an

elastic blanket, the hair-line was necessarily thickened by its impress against

the yielding paper, which over-lapped the sides of every line. Under this

treatment the hair-line appeared thicker in print than in type, and was un-

objectionable to printer or reader ; but when the new method began (as it

did in 1872) ofprinting on dry and smooth paper against an inelastic surfaceLower case a to z, 12 ems

MR. THEODORE L. DbVINNE ON-THE CENTURY ROMAN.

(From The Century, March, 1896.)

[Note.—This series of modern Roman type was out by the American Type Pounders' Companyfor The Century, in accordance with the suggestions and under the supervision of Mr. TheodoreL. DeVinne, the eminent printer of that magazine. The punches were cut on the Bentonpunch-cutting machine from one set of drawings. A very complete line of accents has beenadded to meet the requirements of high-class book and magazine work.]

AGREAT change has taken place in

the taste of readers, who have

wearied of light types and gray im-

pressions. There is an unmistakable

demand for bold and stronger print.

American type-founders recently in-

troduced several styles of bold and

black letter—for publishers and ad-

vertisers, as well as for bibliophiles.

The "Jenson," "Monotone," and the" DeVinne " are in high favor with all,

not for their novelty of form, but for

their greater legibility. With these

evidences before them of a general

preference for bolder types, the pub-

lishers of The Century decided that

they would swim with the tide, and

have types of larger face and thicker

hair-lines. According to old rules,

Roman types would be bolder andmore readable when made larger andwider. Experiments made with broad

letters proved that increased expan-

sion did not always secure increased

legibility. The broad and round faces

which seemed so beautiful in large-

margined pages of Bodoni and Didot

were not all beautiful (quite the re-

verse) when printed in double columns

on a page with narrow margins. Touse types in which the thick strokes

of each type are unduly spread apart

on a page with narrow margins is an

incongruity that cannot be justified.

When margins are ample, and space

is not pinched, types may be broad

and even expanded. When the pageis over-full, the types should be com-

pressed to suit the changed condition.

The fault of over-broad type is mostnoticed in books of poetry, in which

the narrowness of the measure com-pels an overturning and mangling of

lines, a waste of space, and needless

irritation to the reader. Experimentproved that a book-type moderately

compressed and properly cut was as

readable as round or expanded type.

Compressed types, first made in Hol-

land in 1732, ever since have beenmore largely used than types of anyother cut by the printers of Franceand southern Europe. In dictionaries

and books of two or more columnsto the page, the compressed face is

a necessity. The slightness of the

compression in this new face will be

perceived at a glance in a compari-

son of the alphabets of the old andof the new face as here submitted.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDM

THE NEW FACE.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDTHE OLD PACE.

The new face is as wide as the old;

it has as much open space within as

without each letter, and just as manyletters to the line; it has the greater

clearness of a thickened hair-line. It

seems to be compressed only because

it is taller, but this increase of height

amounts to only sixty-five ten-thous-

andths (65/ioooo) of an inch.

The story of the designing of this face

is too full of technical detail to interest

the casual reader. Only a maker of in-

struments of precision can appreciate the

subservient tools, gauges, and machines

that show aberrations of a ten-thousandth

part of an inch ; only an expert punchcutter can understand why minute geo-

THE ORIGIN OF ROMAN TYPES, WITH CHANGESBEFOREAND AFTER REACHING ENGLAND.,^.^

i

HE Italian scribes of the fifteenth century werefamous for their beautiful manuscripts, written

in a hand entirely different from the Gothic of' the Germans, or the Secretary of the French and

iNetherlands calligraphers. It was only natural

that the first Italian printers, -when they set uptheir press at Subiaco, should form their letters

upon the best model of the national scribes. The Cicero de Ora-tore of 1465 is claimed by some as the first book printed in Romantype, although the character shows that the German artists whoprinted it had been unable wholly to shake off the traditions of

the pointed Gothic school of typography inwhich they had learnedtheir craft. The type of the Lactantius, and the improved typeof the works subsequently printed by Sweynheim and Pannartzat Rome, as well as those of Ulric Hahn, were, in fact, Gothic-Romans; and it was not till Nicholas Jenson, a Frenchman, in

1470, printed his Eusebii Praeparatio at Venice, that the true Ro-man appeared in Italy, 'which was destined to become the rulingcharacter in European Typography. Fournier and others haveconsidered that Jenson derived his Roman letter from a mixtureof alphabets of various countries ; but it is only necessary to com-pare the Eusebius 'with the Italian manuscripts of the period, to see

that no such elaborate selection of models 'was necessary or likely.

Jenson's font is on a body corresponding to Enelish. The font is

round and clear, and differing in fashion only from its future pro-

geny. The capital alphabet consists of twenty-three letters (J, U,andW not being yet in use) ; the lower case alphabet is the sameexcept that the u is substituted for the v, and in addition there is along f, and the diphthongs. To complete the font, there are fifteen

contractions, six double letters, and three points, the . : ? makingseventy-three punches in all. Jenson's Roman letter fell after his

death into the hands of a firm of which Andrea Tonesani washead. Aldus Manutius subsequently associated himself with Tor-resani, and,becoming his son-in-law and heir, eventually inheritedhis punches, matrices, and types. The Roman fonts of Alduswere eclipsed by his Italic and Greek, but he cut several fine alpha-bets,Renouad mentions eight distinct fontsbetween 1494 and 1558.Roman type was adopted before 1473 by Mentelin of Strasburg,whose beautiful letter placed him in the front rank of the Germanprinters. Gunther Zainer, who settled at Augsburg in J469, afterprinting some works in the round Gothic, also adopted, in 1472,

the Roman of the Venetian School, fonts of which he is

said to have brought direct from Italy. The German nameof Antiqua, applied to the Roman character, has generallybeen supposed to imply a reluctance to admit the claim ofItaly to the credit of introducing this style of letter. As,however, the Italians themselves called the letter the LetteraAntiqua tonda, the imputation against Germany is un-just. The French, Dutch, and English called it Roman.

ROMAN CHARACTERS THE FIRST TYPES USEDIN FRANCE, IN THE YEAR MO^JtjtjtjtJJjj

iRANCE received printing and the Romancharacter at the same time, the first work of

the Sorbonne press in 1470 being in a hand-some Roman letter about Great Primer in

isize, with a slight suggestion of Gothic in

• some of the characters. Gering, a Germanhimself, and his associates, had learned their art at Basle,

but cut, and probably designed, their own letter on the best

available models. Their font is rudely cast, so that several

of their words appear only half-printed in the impression,

and have been finished by hand. It has been stated errone-

ously, by several writers, on the authority of Chevillier,

that their font was without capitals. The font is completein that respect, and Chevillier's expression, "lettres capi-

tales," as he himself explains, refers to the initial letters for

which blank spaces were left to be filled in by hand. Be-sides the ordinary capital and lower-case alphabets, the font

abounds in abbreviations. This letter was used in all the

works of the Sorbonne press, but when Gering left the Sor-

bonne and established himself at the Soleil d'Or, in 1473,

he made use of a Gothic letter. In his later works, however,new and greatly improved fonts of the Roman appear.

Jodocus Badius, who by some is erroneously supposed to

have been the first who brought the Roman letters fromItaly to France, did not establish his famous Prelum Ascen-

sianum in Paris till about 1500, when he printed in Romantypes— not, however, before one or two other French

printers had already distinguished themselves in the intro-

duction of printing from the adopted Roman characters.

TheFrench quickly recognized the opportunitiesof printing,

but were slow in improving the shapes of the Roman letter.

ROMAN WAS FIRST USED IN THENETHERLANDS ABOUT J472.j»j»j*j»

jOMAN was introduced into

the Netherlands by Johannesde Westfalia, who, it is said,

brought it fromltaly in theyear

1472. He located at Louvain,

and after a number of worksin semi-Gothic, published in 1483 an edition

of Aeneas Silvius in the Italian letter. His

font is elegant, and rather a lighter face than

most of the early Roman fonts of other coun-

tries. This printer appears to have been the

only one in the Low Countries who used this

type during the fifteenth century; nor was it

till Plantin, in 1555, established his famouspress at Antwerp, that the Roman attained

to any degree of excellence. But Plantin, andafter him the Elzevirs, were destined to eclipse

all other artists in their execution of this letter,

which in their hands became a model for the

typography of all civilization. It should bementioned, however, that the Elzevirs are not

supposed to have cut their own punches. TheRoman types which they made famous, andwhich are known by their name, were cut

by Christopher Van Dijk, the form of whoseletter was subsequently adopted by Englishprinters with only a few immaterial changes.

ed itself by the Roman letter of

Amerbach of Basle, and still

more so by the beautiful fonts

used by Froben of the samecity, who between 1491 and

J 52 7 printed some of the finest books thenknown in Europe. Christopher Froschouerof Zurich, about J 545, made use of a peculiar

and not unpicturesque form of the Roman let-

ter, in which the round sorts were thickened,

after the Gothic fashion, at their opposite cor-

ners, instead of at their opposite sides. *m *m <je

FIRST INTRODUCED IN ENGLAND.^3; ^HE Roman was first introduced in

England in J 5 1 8 by Richard Pyn-\ L son. This printer's Norman birth,

and his close relationship with the

typographers of Rouen, together with his sup-

posed intimacy with the famous Basle typog-

rapher Froben, make it highly probable that

he procured his letter abroad, or modelled it onthat of some of the celebrated foreign printers

of his day. The font, though neat and bold in

appearance, displays considerable irregularity

in the casting, and has many contractions.^*

|HE Roman made its way rapidly in

English typography during the first

half of the sixteenth century, and in

_ the hands of such artists as Faques,

RasteU, Wyer, Berthelet, and Day, maintained

an average excellence. But it rapidly degener-

ated, and while other countries were dazzling

Europe by the brilliancy of their impressions,

the English Roman letter went from good to

bad, and from bad to worse* While Claude

Garamond in France was carrying into noble

practice the theories of the form and proportion

of letters set out by his master, Geofroy Tory;

while the Estiennes at Paris, Sebastian Gryphe

at Lyons, Froben at Basle, Froschouer at Zu-rich, and Christopher Plantin at Antwerp, weremoulding their alphabets into models that were

to become classical, English printers, manacled

body and soul by their patents and monopolies

and state persecutions, achieved nothing with

the Roman type that was not retrograde. For

a time a struggle appears to have existed be-

tween the Black-letter and the Roman for the

mastery of the English press, and at one period

the curious spectacle was presented of mixedfonts of the two.ê <£ «g ^ «g *§e <& ^t <& <&<£&

PERILS OF COLUMBUS ON HIS VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY TO THE WESTWARDINDICATIONS of approaching land became more certain, and excited hopes in

proportion. The birds began to appear in flocks, making towards the south-

west. Columbus, in imitation of Portuguese navigators who had been guided

in several of their discoveries by motion of birds, altered his course from due west

toward that quarter whither they pointed their flight. But, after holding on for

several days in this new direction, without any better success than formerly, having

seen no object during thirty days but the sea and sky, the hopes of his companions

with Columbus in opinion, and supported his authority, took part with the private seamen,

and they assembled tumultuously on the deck, expostulated with their commander, mingled

threats with their expostulations, and wanted him to tack about and return to Europe, which

he was loth to do. Columbus perceived that it would be of no avail to have recourse to any

of his former arts, which, having been tried so often, had now lost their effect and that it wasimpossible to rekindle any zeal for the success of the expedition among men in whose breasts

The vastness of the universe must render

foolish the supposition that this planet is

the only inhabited one; and the unity of

laws and of substances asks us to imagine

the beings upon other spheres to be moving

to and fro in the likeness of man, speaking

a language and busied by the useful and the

beautiful. We may even assume that such is

the oneness of intelligent life that if the

inhabitants of these different planets were

to meet in some general home in immortal-

PECULIAR ANCIENT CUSTOMSThe pages of all early books were either large orsmall folios, and were therefore cumbersome andunhandy. Aldus Manuccio, a Venitian, was thefirst to introduce the octavo form. All the leaveswere without any running titles, direction words,page numbers, or divisions into paragraphs. Thewords were printed so close to one another thatthe matter was not easily read. No punctuationmarks were used, except the colon and full point

EDUCATION AND ENJOYMENTMilton was not only the grandest epic poet who haslived since Homer, but he was one of the most ableschoolmasters of that period, and devised for all hispupils a plan of education in which the fatigues ofstudy were wisely interspersed by intervals of music


HANDSOME SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTThe chief thing in a telescope is the object-glass, whichconcentrates the rays of light at a focus, and these createan image of the object looked at. The image is in turnmagnified by means of a powerful eyepiece resembling amicroscope. A good telescope should bear a magnifyingpower of one hundred diameters for an inch of aperture


CONTEMPLATING ENORMOUS PRODUCTIONSBicycle men assert that theirs is at the present time the largestspecific manufacturing industry in America ; that is to say, thatthere is no other single article whose production brings so largea remuneration to so large a colony of workers. It is variouslyestimated that from six hundred thousand to a million bicycleswill be made in America this year. It is quite probable that thehigher figure is nearer the truth. This denotes great foresight

PATENT UPRIGHT MITER MACHINE.

A strong, well-built, accurate machine.The cutting or shaving head has a posi-

tive up and down motion, and must cut

as much at the bottom as at the top, as it

cannot slip. The knife is regulated byset-screw. The sliding gauge is the best

of its kind, enabling the operator to feed

the rule up to the knife, but affords a

positive check at the point where thedesired length is reached. The bed is

graduated, and is made movable, so that

the whole cutting-edge of knife can beused. This machine is mounted in astrong, shallow, wooden box, whichcatches the shavings, and has at thefront end an emery board on which theburr of the rules may be rubbed off.

the Patent Miterer (described on this

page) in this : the rule is held stationary,and the knife is fed up to it, while in thePatent Miterer the knife is stationaryand the rule is fed to it. The knife of

the Golding Miterer is movable, but it is

pivoted in such a way as to enable it to

make a positive downward cut the sameat the bottom as at the top. The knifeadjustment is specially good. The bed is

graduated and is made movable, so that

LITTLE GIANT RULE SHAPER.The rule is held flat on the bed by the clamp (3). The

gauge (5) is graduated to Picas by notches, and is regu-lated by the pointer (4), which engages in the notches.Five steel cutting tools of different angles are furnishedwith each machine. The cutting tool is held in thehead (1). By turning the wheel the cutter is moved hackand forth over the rule, sinking deeper at each cut, andwhen it completes the cut it is lifted automatically, readyfor the next cut. If the rule is thinner than 12 Points,the head (1) may be brought down to therule by moving the lever (3). Any thick-ness of rule up to 12 Point maybe mitered.At each cut both sides of the miter aremade, and join without further trimming.This machine is not designed for trimmingthe ends of leads and rules, and thereforedoes not supersede the upright miterer;but in offices where much mitering is doneit will prove a time and rule saver, as it

These stereotype chases are made in themost accurate manner, exactly type-high,perfectly square and true. The side lock-up screw is attached to the side-stick witha collar in such a manner as to enable theoperator to lock-up and unlock the chaseswith the wrench, drawing the side-stickback and forward instantly, thus savingmuch time and avoiding the use of shoot-ing stick and mallet, and consequent injuryo the side-stick.

IMPOSING TABLES WITH LETTER BOARDS.

No. 9. With 36 x 60-inch Marble Top ; has thirty-two Letter Boards, each 17% x 26 inches inside.

No better disposition of the space underneath an imposing table can be made thanto use it for letter boards. If the type is dead, it is shifted from the stone to the boardwithout loss of time ; if the matter is alive, it is handy for imposition.

These tables are made in the most substantial manner, of hard wood, varnished,and strongly and firmly bolted together. The boards are made of hard wood, closed at

sides and back, and are rabbeted in front to receive galley when sliding off type.

HANDY LETTER BOARD CABINETS.

Handy Letter Board Cabinet with Sixteen Boards.

For the storage and safe keeping ofjob work these cabinets are unrivaled.Their cost will be saved in a few monthsby the prevention of pi. They occupya floor space of 16X 19 inches, with letter

boards of 12X15 inches inside, and aremade ofhard wood throughout, in a solidand substantial manner. Boards areclosed at sides and back, and are rab-beted in front to receive galleys- Theyare well-named "Handy." For job workwithin their size—and this the larger va-riety of such work—these small boardsare much superior to the larger boardsusually put under imposing tables, as it

is a back-breaking job to get a form fromthese large boards when they are full oftype._

It is distinctly an economy to placedead and live forms in such a receptacleas this, rather than to incumber usefulspace on an imposing stone, the type onwhich is always liable to damage. Theprotection they afford from dust is alsoworthy of consideration.

PATENT CLASP CASES.

These cases are of unusual strength,

owing to the use of a brass clasp over the

corner of each box and a long pin which

is driven through center of each clasp and

clinched, holding the partitions firmly

to the bottom of the case. This feature,

in combination with our " New Depar-

ture" case bottoms, makes these cases

the strongest and most durable, espe-

cially for body type and in newspaper

offices.

HARRIS RULE CASES.

Four Harris Rule Cases in a Full-size Blank Case. Price, $4 90.

In HARRIS RULE CASES the rule cannot fall flat—must always stay on end. Piis prevented, because each box is accurately adjusted for its special size—for instance,a 21-em rule will not go into the 20-em rule box. Generous provision is made for thesmaller sizes—the most valuable sizes in a labor-saving font. The cases may be used insets or separately, as Nos. 1 and 2 are complete in themselves. Four of them fit into afull-size blank case.

The rule referred to below is 2-Point, which is the most used._No. 1 Harris Rule Case holds two complete small fonts of Labor Saving Rule, each

weighing 8 pounds, or 16 pounds in all. Each half of this case holds eighteen pieces eachlength from 1 to 8% ems (varying by ens), and eighteen pieces each from 9 to 18 ems(varying by ems) and nine pieces each 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26 and 28 ems, besides boxes forright and left miters.

No. 2 Harris Rule Case holds one complete font of 16 pounds weight or less. It hascompartments for thirty-six pieces each from 1 to 9 ems long (varying by ens), eighteenpieces each from 10 to 24 ems long (varying by ems), and eighteen pieces each of 26,28, 30, 32, 34, 36 ems long, besides boxes for right and left miters. A large proportion ofsmall lengths allowed for.

Nos. 3 and 4 Harris Rule Cases are designed to be used together to hold a font ofrule suitable for a large office, weighing 32 pounds or less. Two and in some cases fourboxes are used to hold the most-used sizes. Each case has its proportion of the smallsizes, so that if it is desired to carry one case to a compositor's stand for use in rulework, the other is available in its regular place with a good working font. These caseshave compartments for seventy-two pieces each from 1 to 9 ems long (varying by ens),thirty-six pieces each from 10 to 24 ems long (varying by ems), and eighteen pieces eachfrom 25 to 36 ems long (varying by ems), and boxes for right and left miters.

DOUBLE LOWER CASE.A most useful case. In most job fonts

NEW YORK SPACE-SAVING CASE STANDS.

New York Double Stand. New York Quadruple Stand (see end view below).

These are space-saving, rent-reducing stands. Two New York Double Stands, holding sixty casesin racks and four pairs cases on top, occupy eighteen square feet of floor space, as against thirty square

feet occupied by two ordinary double stands, holding at most forty-eightcases in racks and four pairs cases on top—a saving of twelve square feet.

Two Double City Stands occupy a floor space of twenty-five square feet asagainst seventeen feet occupied by one Quadruple New York Stand—a sav-ing of eight square feet. This saving is obtained by making the racks cor-respond to size of cases exactly, bringing forward the cap cases so that theydo not overhang at the back of stand (as they do on ordinary stands), andextending the lower cases several inches into the alley.

OTHER POINTS OF SUPERIORITY.

The lower cases project into the alley several inches, affording the com-positor ample leg room, and allowing him to get closer to the type. Theangle of the lower case is just right for rapid setting. The upper case is

raised above the lower, and Drought forward closer to the compositor's hand,while not obstructing the figure boxes of the lower case. The cases are heldon strong iron brackets, securely screwed to a hard-wood top, which is per-fectly smooth , and very useful for storing tied-up matter or for other purposes.

The Window Stand is a rearrangement of the Double Stand, so that it

occupies a square area, and is very suitable for placing opposite a window.

Double case brackets may be put on top of the flat-top cabinets,making a very convenient stand, the regular height from the floor.

AMERICAN STEEL-RUN CABINETS

Hold 50 per cent, more type in same floor-space occupied by Regular 20-Case Cabinets.

Shows Steel-Run with Countersunk Screws.

By substituting steel for wood in the runs, the awkward upper projections on thefronts of regular cabinet cases (which in the ordinary are put on to hide the woodenruns) are dispensed with, and ten more cases are got into the same space. Cases areeasier to set out of, and all cases are within easy reach of compositors ofaverage height.

The cabinets are made of hard wood,polished, braced in centre to preventspreading, and California job cases (givingone-third more room for caps by dispens-ing with two superfluous rows of boxes)are used instead of Italic cases.

The height of the 30-case cabinets is 53inches ; of the 40-case, 68 inches. Cabinetscan be supplied any height, but very highcabinets cannot be recommended owing tothe loss of time in getting the top cases outof them.

Attention is directed to the common-sense assortment of cases in these cabi-nets. In thirty cases there will be required some cases for holding cap and small cap fonts.

The illustration herewith shows the steel run used in American Cabinets. Screws arecountersunk.

PORTER'S PATENT EXTENSION FRONTSTEEL-RUN CABINET.

Notice the extension sides, the chief merit ofthis cabinet. These sides project out far enoughto temporarily hold any of the cases the rack forwhich may be too high or too low for the conveni-ence of the compositor.

Shows construction of runsin Porter Cabinets. The steelruns are secured betweenwood, the wood screwed tosides, and two iron rods arepassed through as extrastrengthened..

The sides of these cabinets are extended four inches beyond the fronts of the cases.These extensions serve the printer in two ways : (i) A case near the top of a cabinetmay be taken from its rack and placed in a more convenient position for setting from,and will be held by the extensions without withdrawing another case. This cannot bedone on any other cabinet. (2) The extensions permit cases to be drawn out furtherfrom the racks than is possible in other cabinets, making it easier to set out of the rearboxes. In addition, these cabinets have all the best points of other cabinets, such assteel runs, " New Departure " cases, hard wood throughout, and are stronger than anyother cabinets, as will be seen by examining the sectional illustration above.

The extension sides make it practicable to use higher cabinets, containing more casesin a tier, than can be advised where ordinary cabinets are used.

Porter Cabinets of greater height can be supplied if desired. As all the above cabi-nets have flat tops, we do not list any double cabinets. A double 25-case (50 cases in all)

will cost $85 ; a double 30-case, $100. Single tier, flat-top cabinets are always preferableto double, because it is easier to find positions for them. They are moved easier, andthere is no saving in space by using double flat-top cabinets.

'AMERICAN-POLHEMUS" CABINETS.

All Hard Wood, Cherry Finish.

The object of the American-Pol-hemus Cabinet is to save time andspace. Time is lost on the ordinarycabinets by stationing the compositorin front oftwenty cases, all frequentlyin use by other men, who, when set-

ting or distributing from them, keepthe man at the cabinet idle. On theAmerican-Polhemus Cabinets the jobcases are unobstructed, and the com-positor stands at the back, where hecannot be interrupted. If he is set-

ting solid matter he can empty his

sticks, without walking a step, on agalley kept under his lower case, as

the cases are held by the Patent Tilt-

ing Bracket and Galley Rest. Illus-

trated on page 58.

Every inch of space on the Ameri-can-Polhemus Cabinets is utilized to

advantage. The galley top or bankis a most useful addition. The space between the cases is used as a sort cabinet. Thetop is flat, and tied-up matter may be kept on it, as the iron case brackets admit of easyaccess to the space under the cases and galley top. The brackets which hold the casesproject into the alley eight inches, giving the compositor plenty of knee-room, whilesaving floor-space.

THORNE TYPE-SETTING AND DISTRIBUTING MACHINE.Type-setting machines, long regarded as an experiment, are

now as much of a necessity in the average printing office as cyl-inder presses, and publishers or printers having any considerableamount of plain book or news composition cannot afford in thesedays of competition and hurry to rely upon slow, laborious andexpensive hand composition, when this simple,moderate-priced machine is available, which willsame work in a perfect manner in half the time anhalf the expense of hand work.The Thorne Type-Setting Machine, using perft

duces results typographically equal, if not supe-rior, to the work of the hand compositor ; sothat not only are these machines now in success-ful use on news and periodical work, but theyare likewise constantly employed in the produc-tion of books requiring composition of the mostexacting character.The processes of distribution and composition

are combined in a compact and simple machineof marvelous accuracy of construction, occupy-ing but small floor space, and requiring little

more power for its operation than a sewingmachine. Thedifferent process-es ofthe work areunder the instantand ready con-trol of the opera-tors ; the distrib-

utor may be op-erated or stoppedwithout interfer-

ing with the workof composition,and the setting of

type may continue so long as there is type for distribution.There being no time lost in distribution,composition may be carried on continuouslyshould occasion require it, and it is a com-mon practice to run machines with two setsof operators night and day.

Proficiency in operating the machine is

readily acquired after short practice byprinters, and no machinist is required in

attendance, for all working parts are madeinterchangeable. When a part becomes wornor damaged it can be replaced by any one ofaverage mechanical ability. The capacity ofthe machine is limited only bythe proficiencyof the operator, and the character ofthe work

being handled ; on book work from five to six thousandems per hour are readily distributed and set, while onnews work and work of similar nature from six to ninethousand ems are produced by expert operators. Machinesare constructed to handle any one size of type from Agateto Pica, and for book work are so constructed that themeasure may be changed in a minute's time. They are

adaptable for use in any language, andmachines are now employed by English,French, Finnish, Hebrew and German print-

ers to set the type of newspapers, books andperiodicals published in these languages.In the classes of work for which it is de-signed the machine will earn its cost withina few months.

SUCCESS SAFETY BENZINE CAN.Made of Brass.

By the use of this safety can, leakage of benzine or its vapor is

prevented, as the stopper is automatically self-locking— alwaystightly closed when the can is not in use. The flow of benzine,naphtha or any other fluid is regulated by the pressure of the secondand third fingers upon a circular plate on the nozzle ; and the ad-justment is so perfect that one can pour a single drop, or a full

stream, at will. It is also neat and cleanly, for the hands are keptentirely free from contact with its contents. The patent improvedstopper is as durable as it is simple. Made of the best material,and carefully finished and adjusted.As a safeguard against loss by fire, this can is an economical and

profitable " policy." Benzine is dangerous, but its use is divestedof risk where this improved can is employed. It has been put tothe test, and proved safe and serviceable in every respect. It maybe overturned or placed in any position whatever, and the contentswill not spill or overflow. There a re no chains or exposed springs.Approved by the Board of Fire Underwriters.

UNIONSTORAGE CAN.

For Holding Benzine or Oils.

It is strongly made of galvan-ized iron and is self-closing.There can be no evaporation, andno fluid can be spilled until thenozzle is opened by means of thespring. A very necessary articlein all printing offices which arepermitted to have one or moregallons of benzine on the prem-ises.

Quite a saving in the cost ofbenzine and oils will be realizedby purchasing in the quantitiesheld by these storage cans, be-sides avoiding the inconvenienceof sending out at frequent inter-vals to get the ordinary benzinecan filled up.

DILLINGHAM PRESS PUNCH.Patented March 2, 1897.

Is secured to the tympan of platen presses in same manner as a feed guide, andpunches a clean hole in card or paper simultaneously with the printing on jobs which have

a margin of one inch ormore. The method ofworking this punch is

clearly shown in accom-panying half-tone. Theslightly curved spring is

placed under the uppertympan sheet, and thesheet to be punched is

fed over this curvedspring and under thepunch with no moretrouble than in feedingto gauge pins. Thepunch is secured to the

tympan by paste orglue or (better still) by

a mixture of paste and glue. Two or more punches can be used on one sheet. Punchingand printing can be done simultaneously on a variety of work, such as window cards,

programmes, orders of dance, souvenirs, etc. Made with large and small holes, as perdiagram. The larger hole will be sent unless otherwise ordered.

Each, with directions, net • . . $1 25

PRESS PUNCH.This punch is about one thirty-second inch lower than type, and can be locked

up in a type form, thus enabling printers to punch holes in stock at the same time it

is printed, without extra expense. A piece of 2-point brass rule should be cementedto the tympan sheet for the punch to strike on, and an opening left in the form oppo-

site opening in base of punch to prevent it from becoming clogged. Made of best tool

In making up blocks,if paper is to be uncut and sewed,allow nothing for loss by wasteon the fore edge; if it is to beside-stitched and trimmed, makesuitable allowance for marginthat will be concealed by wirestitching in binding.

CAUTION—To Avoid Errors.In sending orders, give the size

of each block outside, and also

WETTER NUMBERING FRAME.

Specially designed for the purpose of using one or more numbering machines at one time, andoperated by two plungers, one on each end of the frame.

Any number of machines can be used in this, and can be set whatever distance apart where thework is directly across the sheet.

This frame makes it possible to operate twelve machines with but one plunger on each end. Theplungers touch outside the paper, thereby leaving nothing but the clear, unmarred figures on thesurface. Any character or design may precede or follow the numbers, if desired, the same as whenused singly and apart from the frame.

This frame makes it possible to do twelve times as much work in almost every variety of num-bering as could be done with foot-power machines. The *' Wetter" will do a great deal more worksimultaneously with the printing.

The price of extra machines to use in the frame is the same as the regular machine. The framesare made to order in various sizes, on which it is impossible to quote price until size is known andquantity required. For all such work special prices will be given.

CHESAPEAKE ECONOMY COMPOUND.The Effective Ink Reducer for both Lithographic and Letter-press Inks.

IT IS PURE. — ChesapeakeEconomy Compound is absolutelyfree from mineral petroleum pro-

ducts or acids of any kind, and is

perfectly safe. Varnishes may beadded, if required.

IT HELPS INKS.—Any kind or

color of ink mixed with Chesa-peake Economy Compound will

not dry on forms or rollers, andwill not skin when exposed to theair. Upon being mixed with ink,

Economy Compound becomesthoroughly identified with it, andwith less "weight of ink a solid,

sharp print is obtained. Inksmixed with Economy Compoundwill cover 30 per cent, more paperthan if used without it.

IT PREVENTS TROUBLE.—Coated and surface papers will not pull if printed withink mixed with Economy Compound, and the use of the Compound tends to preventoff-set and to make inks dry quicker on paper. It is not necessary, as a rule, to wash uprollers at night when inks are mixed with Economy Compound, as the inks will not dryon rollers. Economy Compound keeps lithographic stones in good condition, and inksmixed with it lift well from the stone.

P. F. Pettibone & Co., Chicago: "We have been using Economy Compound in our press roomfor some months, and find it a very fine article indeed."

John A. Lowell & Co., Boston : " We find Economy Compound most excellent for printing heavyblack forms on enameled or coated stock, enabling us to turn out the work quickly and without off-

"

Oxford Publishing House, Baltitnore, Md. : " Economy Compound is doing more than is claimedfor it. We get full 30 per cent, more from our inks and a much better result in the way of solid colorthan we did before using it, and the fact that long runs can be left over night ready to start in themorning without washing up is a great saving of both time and ink, especially on hurried work. Wehave used it for six months and would not be without it."

G. H. Dunston, Buffalo, JV. V.: "Economy Compound is the best reducer we have ever used,especially in cases where ink has hardened. This formerly caused us trouble and loss, as it wasfrequently necessary to throw away such ink ; but with this reducer we can put the ink in propercondition for use."

ADAMSON DISC COVER.

Makes Copying Inks Work Easy.

Cold iron and copying inks repel eachother. To avoid trouble, slip an AdamsonDisc Cover over your disc. It is made of

special cloth, lined with rubber. Iron dries

the ink, deadens it, wastes it. The cloth

disc gives good distribution, becomes sa-

turated with ink like a stamp pad, andsaves 50 per cent, of ink. When job is done,lift off disc cover. Saves washing time, andall the ink in cover is available the nexttime you use it. In ordering send the exactsize of ink disc.

Directions for Using.

Place the edge or rim of the cover overthe lower edge of the disc, and gently drawthe cover over the disc

;stretching it no

more than necessary to just get it over theupper edge. See that the cover lays smoothly on the disc. With a moist (not wet) spongewipe the upper or cloth face of the cover to- remove any dust or foreign particles that

may be adhering to it. Then put up ink, and run until distributed. This will take several

minutes the first time the disc is used, as the ink should be put on a little at a time until

the cover is saturated. After the first run it will only be necessary to put on the cover,

and go ahead, as the ink once distributed remains on the cover. Do not wash the disc.

In putting on the cover the first time, be careful that the ratchet pawl, or any retard-

ing spring or brake on the disc, does not catch and tear the edge of the cover. Turn thedisc or plate slowly by hand for one full revolution before starting up the press.

» BENTROVATO."[trade mark.]

Dispels Electricity from Paper on Printing Presses.

A chemical fluid preparation which, applied in asmall quantity to the tympan sheet by means of asponge, cloth or cotton waste, effectually dispels theelectricity generated in cylinder presses—a difficulty

which results in serious losses to printers.In all offices where there is a tendency toward this

trouble, a bottle of " Bentrovato " will prove as valua-ble as the proverbial "stitch in time."" Bentrovato " is used in a majority of the larger

printing offices throughout the United States.

American Type Founders' Co.: Please send me at once byAmerican Express one bottle of " Bentrovato." I should notlike to be without it, even if it cost $10 per bottle. Our devilknocked over the first bottle you sent us. I bought it with nofaith, simply because I was willing to try anything. Our paperwas as ifpossessed by ten thousand devils.

This rack is the most substantial movable drying rack made. Although it has fewer shelves than aNew York, the extra space between the shelves is a distinct advantage, as on small jobs the sheets canbe handled without moving the shelf on which they are placed. When not in use the shelves may beput out of the way, as illustrated in cut.

BEST RACKS FOR LARGE EDITIONS.

On opposite page we describe a pat-

ented rack which has saved large firms

thousands of dollars per year by enablingthem to utilize their floor space to the

utmost extent, making slip-sheeting un-

necessary on very many jobs and pre-

venting wastage by handling sheets. Theinterlocking device and method of insert-

ing the slats into the sides is verv plainlyillustrated in Figure 2. No large estab-lishment can afford to use wall-racks nowthat these effective racks, used in con-nection with trucks, will save their costevery month in the year.


KCERNER'S PATENT INTERLOCKING DRYING RACKS.(United States Patent, No. 392,735; Canadian Patent, No. 28,735.)

Fig. 2. Interlocking Racks Stacked with Paper, Straight and Rigid.

These racks are for establishments which work on long runs, for color work, and forlithographers. They are used on Puck and Truth, and the American LithographingCompany has over 25,000 of them in its various establishments in New York City alone.

With these racks sheets are taken direct from the fly of the press, and may bestacked ceiling-high in a perfectly straight and rigid pile, which cannot be knocked overby accident, and with no more weight on the bottom than on the top sheets. This pileis a most effective drying room, occupying only the floor space of one rack, and from thetime the sheets are fed into the machine until ready for shipment they need not behandled. The interlocking device, which makes thepile straight and rigid, is shown in Figure 2. Eachrack is firmly locked on its neighbor, but each slides

with ease on the rack immediately below it. Theysave handling, all the time of that operation, and theconsequent waste of paper through offset, smearing,finger-marks and tearing. In many casesthese racks save expensive slip-sheeting.They circumvent electricity by receivingthe sheet direct from the fly. They insureevenness of temperature, and therebyassist in getting a perfect register onlithographic work. They save seventy-five per cent, of floor space over any othermethod of drying sheets, and from one totwo per cent, of paper, and a vast amountof time. A further saving of time may beeffected by placing the racks as they comefrom the fly-board on a printer's truck,made specially to take these racks (seenext page). A pile of racks can be movedquicker, safer and easier on the truck than a single armful can be moved by hand. Theracks have hard-wood sides with wide soft-wood slats, and are very strongly put together.

QALLY UNIVERSAL PRESS.

The Gaily Universal Press is made in three styles, which are

described on next page.

Excels alf other types of platen presses because : (i) The bed and frame are cast

in one piece, securing rigidity and keeping all shafts in line in spite of irregularities in

floor or foundation. (2) The platen moves up squarely against the type form, giving

a perfectly square impression. (3) The platen has nine supports, and is extra heavy, andis the only platen capable of sustaining the powerful impression necessary to secure

the best results on large forms of cuts. (4) The impression can be thrown off instantly,

the throw-off being controlled by a bar directly behind the platen. (5) The impression

can be changed instantly all over the platen, varying from the imperceptible to an eighth

of an inch. (6) The platen opens out widely, making it easy to feed paper into it. (7)

The ink fountain is as efficient as the fountains on the highest grade cylinder presses. It is

the most perfect fountain for a platen press ever made. (8) The operations of ink distri-

bution and "inking" the form are distinct, and each performed by a separate set of

rollers. In addition to the fountain ductor roller, there are four ink distributers (two

of composition, two of iron) which supply two inking cylinders, from which the three

form rollers receive a fresh, distributed supply of ink at each impression. On all other

types of presses the form rollers have to distribute the crude ink as it leaves the foun-

tain. (9) The form rollers can be held against the inking cylinders for distribution,

while getting up color, and need not touch the type form. (10) The ink fountain canbe divided by partitions for printing two or more colors at one time. (11) The weightand strength are greater than in any other platen press, as it is designed to do work that

cannot be safely attempted on any other type of press.

The Gaily Universal is designed for use by the best class of printers. In the handsof competent pressmen the press is the most durable, and will do first-class work in

perfect register longer than any other press. We can refer purchasers to presses whichhave been in constant use for twenty years, doing perfect work to-day, and bidding fair

to give the best results for years to come.The recent application of continuous-motion impression cranks and a new patented

platen control have increased the speed on all sizes. Speed requirements vary with the

kind of work. These presses will run smoothly at the following maximum speeds:10X 15-inch size, 2600 per hour; 13X 19-inch, 1800 per hour; 14X22 inch, 1700 per hour.

The style No. 3 Universal Press differs from Style No. 1 in the following particulars

:

The driving shaft is extended to carry an extra outside floor support. The pulleys are intendedto carry a 2^-inch belt on Quarto Medium and a 3^-inch belt on larger sizes. The fly-wheel on-Quarto Medium weighs two hundred pounds, and on the Half Medium and Half Super-Royal threehundred pounds each. The large gear-wheel has a section of best quality of steel welded into its

periphery, in which are formed the impression teeth, z. e., those teeth which are in engagement withthe driving pinion and transmit the momentum of the fly-wheel to the cranks during the time of the"nip." The main shaft is of steel, with solid reamed bearing through the bed. The crank-pins arecrucible steel, hardened and finely finished. The connecting rods are of forged machinery steel, veryheavy, and bushed with phosphor-bronze where bearing on crank-pins. The bridge and platen aresolid to each other—no pressure whatever being sustained by screws. Has double impression latch.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE GALLY UNIVERSAL PRESS.

TWO TYPES OF PLATEN PRESSES.The Universal Press, when invented and patented in 1869-70, differed radically both in its funda-

mental principles and labor-saving appliances from any other platen press in use at that time. Sincethen platen presses everywhere are divided into two recognized types or classes, each taking the

name of the original inventor : the " Gordon " type, with its hinged or " clam-shell " movement ofbed and platen, as imitated with slight variations under a great variety of names, all distributing inkby means of a disc, and the " Gaily Universal " type, with its fixed bed, sliding platen, square impactof imprr-sion on the form, solid frame and cylindrical ink distribution.

IMPRESSION.">? ideal impression is given by a Washington Hand Press, and the impression given by the Gaily

Universal is similar, and is perfect in practice and in theory. No other type of platen press can give

a perfectly square im-pression.The platen is mas-

sive, and is secured tothe platen bridge byfour controlling screwswhich pass through thebridge, and is support-ed at the corners and inthe centre by five ad-justable screw supports,giving nine supports inall. Thus the utmoststrength and an unyield-ing impression is ob-tained.The platen movement

in relation to the bed is

illustrated in Figs. 2and 3 (sectional draw-ings from the inside).

Fig. 3.

Fig. 2. Fi£- 2 shows the platen open at the feeding position, supportedby the rockers (/?) on the slidewavs {s). The movement lscon-

,trolled by the draw-bars, which connect with a steel shaft (A)

passing through the platen bridge. As the draw-bars pull the platen toward the bed it rocks forwarduntil the flattened toes {e ) of the rockers rest on the slidewavs (s), as shown in Fig. 3.

598


The platen is now half an inch from the type form, and exactly parallel to it, and the locking lugsV-Wand JJ) have engaged the slideways at top and bottom, preventing the platen from tipping. Thussecured, the platen slides squarely to the type form, taking a direct face impression, The platen thenslides back and rocks to the feeding position again. The curve of the rockers (R) are struck from apoint at the center of gravity of the whole moving piece, so that the movement is accomplished with atrifling expenditure of effort.

DISTRIBUTION OF INK.The superiority of the Gaily Universal Press is in no point more apparent than in the distribution

and application of ink to the form. In Fig. 10 is shown the Gaily Universal system of ink distribution.

C is the main distributing cylinder, and *S" is the secondary dis-

tributing cylinder. The composition distributing rollers {e and e') ._..,,

revolve on the distributing cylinder^, and on top of the distribu-

ters are two metallic rollers {v and v') with a steady lateral move-ment in opposite directions, constantly crossing and recrossing thelines of distribution. The ink is supplied from the fountain (.F,

Fig. 10) to the distributing cylinder (C), once at each impression,by the ductor roller {H)

tin an evenly spread line, immediately

after the form rollers have left the cylinders to ink the form ; andbefore the rollers have completed the rolling of the form andreturned to the cylinders the applied ink is thoroughly distributedby the distributers \e e*), so that no undistributed ink can ever reachthe form rollers or be applied to the form.

The distribution of ink is constant while the press is

in motion, whether the form rollers (i, 2,3) are in contactwith cylinder or on the form. The cylinders, rollers andlateral distributers, as shown in Fig. 10, are made of dif-

ferent diameters on uneven measurements, so that their

lines of contact are not repeated while revolving.On presses with disc distribution the form rollers must

distribute their own ink and convey it to the form, whileon the Gaily Universal these two functions are performedby two distinct sets-pf rollers. In the former case the workis necessarily imperfect ; in the latter, both processes giveperfect results. ^

INK FOUNTAIN.The Gaily Universal ink fountain is as complete as the ink fountain of any first-class cylinder press.

Every part of it is under positive control. The movement of the fountain cylinder {/?, Fig. 19) is regu-lated by a ratchet lever. The ink is carried from the cylinder {/$) to the distributing cylinder C, Fig.

io, bv a composition ductor roller. In nearly all ink fountains theregulating screws press directly against the steel blade, and in

setting for a fine feed have a tendency to bind the fountaincylinder. In the Universal ink fountain (Fig. 19) A is a steel

blade, e is rubber packing, and a is a very thin strip of steel

against which the screws (T) areset. Therubber (e) furnishesan elasticity which prevents the blade from binding, while giv-ing a perfect cut off. With this safeguard a press boy may betrusted to regulate the fountain. The fountain may be removedeasily from the press to be cleansed, and is made interchange-able so that an extra fountain for colors may be put on in a few

Fig. 19. moments.

ADJUSTMENT OF IMPRESSION AND THROW-OFF.The Gaily Universal Press was the first to have a quick, easy method of adjusting the impression,

and the Gaily invention is still unexcelled. The theory of modern fine printing calls for a minimumof the platen impression is necessary. The labor

QALLY UNIVERSAL EMBOSSING PRESS.

^^sK^™^^

These are the largest embossing presses made, and combine strength, power, speed

and facility for handling work easily in a degree unequaled by any other press. They

are designed for extra heavy hot or cold process embossing, and book-cover stamping

(" smashing "). The mechanical principles employed to give impression, power, and to

throw-off impression, are the same as described on pages 96 and 97. Nothing better

demonstrates the correctness of the mechanical principles on which Gaily Universal

Presses are built than their applicability to all degrees of power and strain. Even- other

type of platen press has its limitations—a point where it gets unwieldy and inefficient.

{See " Paper Box Making" at foot of this page.)

The most satisfactory presses for cutting and creasing paper boxes. Immenselystrong, easy to operate, with speed limited only by the capacity of feeder. They will

not stall on the heaviest impression. They are built on the same general lines as theGaily Universal Embossing Presses, and have extra steel-gibbed locks on under edgeof the platen to prevent deflection of the platen under unequal strain. The platen,

which has a throw-off, is set to height of type unless otherwise ordered. Both sizes

FOLDING PAPER BOX MAKING.The process of making folding paper boxes is simple. The stock used is manilla

board, made specially for the purpose. A cutting and creasing press is the same as anordinary printing press, except that it is larger, has to be stronger, and does not requirean inking apparatus. The shape of a box having been decided on, a form is set up withsteel cutting and brass creasing rules—the former to cut out waste margins and tomakeslits, and the latter to crease or score the lines on which the stock in the box must bendwhen set up for use. It is usual to cut and crease as many boxes at one time as can becut out from a full-sized sheet. The box leaves the press flat. It is then folded onceand glued on one edge, and delivered flat. Any printing required is done before cuttingand creasing. Any good compositor will understand the process after reading aboveexplanation and examining a folded paper box. The glueing is done by a machine ofmoderate cost.


HARRIS AUTOMATIC ENVELOPE AND CARD PRESS.Fastest Job Press. Speed from 5000 to 12,000 pe* Hour.

The Harris Automatic is a self-feeding and self-delivering press of recent introduc-

tion but well-established reputation. It prints cards and envelopes in one or more colors

in first-class style, and will supersede all other presses on work within its capacity in

offices where envelopes, cards, or tags, are printed in large quantities in runs of 3000 at

a time and upward. It registers closely. It has an automatic throw-off, which causes it

to cease taking impressions whenever the grippers fail to grasp the sheet, thus effectively

preventing waste of stock as well as offsets. The printing is done from curved stereo, or

electro, plates. Making ready is convenient and easy. It is possible to make-ready andrun off 5000 envelopes in forty minutes. Distribution is abundant and effective. Thereis an adjustable ink fountain. The capacity is from the smallest envelope corner to

plates not exceeding 11X13 inches. Prices, terms, circulars, etc., sent on application.

SELECTED FROM LETTERS RECEIVED FROM USERS.James Kempster Printing Co., A'. J'. .•

" Capable of running over 50,000 impressions a day with

little or no spoilage."

Public Printer, Washington, D. C: "The Government Printing Office met an extraordinarydemand during the last Presidential campaign, to the extent of printing 60,000,000 (sixty million)

envelopes, which would not have been met, for lack of press facilities, had we not fortunately discov-

ered the Harris Automatic Press, which reduced the cost of envelope printing from $5 cents to 11

cents per thousand. We use another Harris press in our job room, and find it convenient for smatt

runs, which work we did not anticipate doing on it at time of purchase."

IDEAL HAND CYLINDER PRESS.

The type form on this press is stationary. The cylinder is

moved over the tympan by link belts running over sprocket

wheels at each end of the press, and it prints a sheet at each

forward or backward movement. The cylinder is made of

steel and is held firmly to the tracks by truck-wheels which

run in a groove on the under side of the tracks. The boxes

which hold the cylinder at each end and in which it re-

volves, are connected by a stretcher rod running above the

cylinder, which prevents side friction The impression is

regulated by four screws—two on each side—which raise

or depress the bearers on which the cylinder runs. An

effective inking appa-ratus is supplied, but

is extra. A number of

Ideal Presses are in

use, and intendingpurchasers may gath-

er how satisfactorythey are to the users

by reading the follow-

ing extracts from a

great many commen-datory letters re-

ceived:

"My wife ran off 300 anhour on it the first day it

was put up." * * * " Withit our inexperiencedpressman has made the

following speed: 750 im-pressions in 75 minutes;

475 in one hour ; 100 in n minutes. We run a regular lick of 100 every 15 minutes, or 400 per hour."* * * " \Ve can run an edition in one-half the time and secure a better print than on our Washington."* * * " The press is so simple that the veriest novice can set it up, and so light-running that a boy mayoperate it with ease." * * * " It is far superior to my old Washington for speed and quality of work."

CAMPBELL COUNTRY HAND CYLINDER PRESS.

The Campbell Country Hand Cylinder forms a class by itself, and occupies, with-

out a satisfactory rival, the entire field between the Washington hand press and the

power cylinder. Thousands are in use, and it has proved a stepping-stone to fortune

for a great number of publishers during the past thirty years. It is constructed on the

same successful mechanical principles as are used in building the more expensive powercylinder presses, and power fixtures may be added at a small cost. The wear of typeon this press is much less than on that class of presses which are constructed on the

crude principles of a proof press.

TESTIMONIALS SELECTED FROM HUNDREDS EQUALLY FAVORABLE.

/. H. Wilcox, Portsmouth, Va. : " You are mistaken as to my having purchased a Campbell HandCylinder Country Press in 1890. I bought one in 1886, and I take great pleasure in saying that it hasproved in every way most satisfactory. One small man can turn it continually for hours with ease.

It does not get out of order except through negligence, and it is very simple in its operation. Thispress, I believe, is about sixteen years old, if not older, and it will probably last another sixteenyears, if not longer."

Theo. P. Wilson, Winchester, ATass..: "The Campbell Hand Cylinder Country Press purchasedfrom you in August, 1889, has given the utmost satisfaction during its over two years of constantservice. I have not spent a cent for repairs, and consider it as good as when first set up. The pressis now run by water power, and can print 900 papers per hour. The Star I consider one of thecleanest printed papers in this section."

Paragraph Publishing Co., Mamaroneck, .A*. }"..• "We take great pleasure in saying that theCampbell Hand Cylinder Press purchased of you in September, 1890, has proved in every respect afirst-class machine. Although intended to be run by hand, we have been running our press by powerfor the last three months at an average speed of 840 to 900 per hour. As the press has no springs, weconsider this a performance with which we are pleased, and of which you have reason to be proud."

T. H. Harier, Middleburgh, Pa. : " I have been using a Campbell Press for four years, and takepleasure in recommending it to the trade. For simplicity, durability and ease on type it cannot beexcelled. My issue of 1600 (6-column quarto) is turned off in two and a half hours, including all

stops, and the press hasn't been out of order since I had it, with the exception of the fly-springbreaking. I would not trade it with any press on the market for a country office."

COTTRELL TRIUMPH COUNTRY PRESS.With Patent Air Springs.

Adapted for printing newspapers, pamphlets, posters, circulars, and all classes of

commercial printing. Conforms in construction, design, durability and finish to the

high reputation of the manufacturers.

The press is supplied with patent air springs, the resistance of which is increased

or decreased according to the speed of the press. It is well known that the faster the

speed the greater strength of spring is required. The patent air spring covers these

requirements. If the. press is running at five hundred per hour, the spring can be easily

regulated for that speed ; and if running at fifteen hundred per hour, the proportionate

increase of spring can be obtained, and so up to the highest speed of which this press

is capable. The air spring is provided with an automatic throw-off that releases the

pressure when the press is stopped, and the pressman can move the bed to and fro

without compressing the spring. When the press is started, the spring is applied

automatically.

The patent hinged roller-frame permits of the rollers being instantly uncovered for

removal or for other purposes without unscrewing the sockets. The rollers can betaken out and put back without changing their set. The well-fountain is used, beingeasily regulated and cleansed, and it is set high, giving easy access to the form. Thedistribution is ample—two three-inch rollers covering the full form. The bed has four

supports while under impression, thus securing a clear, even impression. The shoes,

tracks and rollers are of hard steel. The gearing is accurately cut, which, together withthe registering rack and segment, insures perfect register.

The Triumph Press is built with table, rack and cam distribution, or with the rack

and cam distribution, as per illustration on this page.

The Triumph Press can be fitted to run by hand power, when so desired. Tapelessdelivery furnished, when required, at an extra charge.

COTTRELL MONARCH TWO-ROLLER PRESS.With Two Rollers Covering Form.

Air Springs.

Tapeless Delivery.

Back.Up Movement.Hinged Roller-Frame.

It has many advantages and improvements, including patent air springs, patent

tapeless delivery, back-up movement, hinged roller-frame, and iron steps and feeder's

stand, and in its manufacture quality is placed first and cost afterward.

It is a press of excellent design, of the best materials, and of high speed. By manu-

facturing them in large quantities, and building but two sizes, the price is put within

the reach of the printer of moderate means.It is a fast press—1600 per hour is easily possible on the larger and 2000 on the

smaller size.

It has four bearings under the bed for extreme rigidity and strength, and steel tracks

and steel rollers. There is a heavy flange on the ends of the cylinder as an added ele-

ment of strength.The patent air spring forms an easy cushion for the bed in passing the centers, is

under perfect control, and can be readily adjusted for the different speeds. The air

spring has a new automatic throw-off, so that in turning over the centers by hand the

spring is not compressed.The patent back-up movement is a great convenience and a labor-saver.

The patent hinged roller-frame permits the form rollers to be instantly uncovered

for removal or other purposes without unscrewing the sockets. The rollers can be

taken out and put back without changing their set.

The well fountain is used, being easily regulated and cleaned. It is set high, giving

easy access to the form.Furnished with table and rack and cam distribution at an extra charge, or only with

COTTRELL PARAGON JOB AND NEWSPAPER PRESS.With Two Rollers Covering a Pull Form.

The side frames rest upon and are fastened to a substantial bed-plate, thus insuring

stiffness and rigidity of construction. The side frames are changed in design, the flanges

projecting inward, and are massive in appearance.

The girt is cast solid with the bed-plate, and carries a pair of substantial rollers

adjustable in their box bearings. These rollers operate in connection with extra steel

tracks beneath the bed, which, with the ordinary ribs, sliders and tracks, form four

separate bearings directly beneath the "impression," making any spring in the bed an

impossibility.

The patent air spring, as applied to the press, forms an easy cushion for the bed in

passing the centers, and can be readily adjusted for the different speeds.

In connection with the air spring is an automatic throw-off, which permits of the

press being turned by hand without compressing the spring. This device is entirely

automatic, and does not require any attention.

These presses are supplied with the well-fountain, placed high above the bed, to

admit of easy access to the form. The roller frames are hinged in such a manner as to

enable the pressman to open them in an instant, leaving the form rollers free for removal.

The roller bearings are made adjustable in every direction.

The sheet delivery is tapeless, and fingers of the fly are adjustable transversely to

suit position of delivery wheels and nature of sheet to be delivered. The ends of the

cylinder are flanged to increase its rigidity.

The Paragon Press is supplied with table, rack and cam distribution, as illustrated

on this page, at an extra charge, or with rack and cam distribution.

THE CRANSTON=VICTOR COMMERCIAL PRESS.Two-Revolution, with Four Rollers

Various methods of engraving having been developed, and their ut'Iity practically

demonstrated, the demand has been created for a press that will bring out delicate lines

of half-tone, process, etched, photo- engraved plates, and work of this description, givine

hat clear and distinct impression without which the best results are not attainable fromsuch plates. The new Victor Two-Revolution Four-Roller Commercial Press is espe-

cially designed for this class of work. Possessing as it does the patented features of ourlarger sizes, it is, like them, solidly constructed, giving an unyielding impression andan ample inking surface. Its size is convenient and sufficiently large to meet all de-mands for work of this class, while the speed provides for rapid production. Many fea-

tures are embodied in this press for convenience in make-ready, etc. The distribution is

a complete system, by means of which every particle of inking surface is evenly andthoroughly covered. The movements are easily adjusted and positive in their action.

The cam has a continuous surface, and the sheets are laid lightly on the table withoutsmut or off-set. Adjustable fly-fingers. The height of the press is such that it can be fedfrom the floor, and it is built with special reference to convenience in working about it.

Its register is faultless. This press is the result of careful study, and embodies sugges-tions from practical printers regarding the requirements for printing this special work.The very satisfactory results obtained from those in use prove conclusively that theVictor will meet all requirements made upon it.

The speed is equal to all reasonable demands for fine printing.

OSTRANDER-SEYMOUR PONY WEB PERFECTING PRESS.

A Reliable Low-Priced Perfecting Press.

This press is designed for newspapers with a circulation which cannot be handled

satisfactorily on flat-bed cylinders, but which could not profitably utilize high-priced and

more elaborate perfecting presses. The Pony Web can be worked economically, will do

the work equal to a press costing twice as much, and can be depended upon for dura-

bility, based on good materials and good workmanship.

This Pony Web Press is complete with stereotyping apparatus, make-up tables and

chases, and will print four-page or eight-page papers of either 6 or 7 columns, or 7 or

8-column sizes, at a speed of from 10,000 to 12,000 per hour.

Prices, terms and full particulars sent on application. Can be built to order for

special work at moderate additional cost.

LETTER FROM A USER.

American Type Founders Company, Buffalo, N. V.Buffalo, N. Y., August 4, 1S97.

Dear Sirs

:

At your request I take pleasure in expressing my satisfaction with the OstranderWeb Press

you put in my office. It is run with very little trouble by my old pressman who had no previous expe-

rience in either stereotyping or in running a web press. We get eight stereos made and the first 3500

papers off within an hour after the forms are received from my composing room. For comparatively

green hands, this is good work. We run right along at a rate of from 9000 to 12,000 per hour. Wefrequently run several days without breaking the web, or being obliged to stop once, except for putting

on new rolls of paper. As for the quality of the work, the Mrrcantih' Ktt'irw speaks for itself. I

believe we will do even better when we get a little more experience. You are at liberty to refer any

inquiries to me, as the press certainly handles my paper in good shape.

Very truly.

HERCULES SPECIAL GAS AND GASOLINE ENGINE.The superiority of a good gas

engine to a steam engine in econo-my, convenience, safety, cleanli-ness and availability at a moment'snotice is conceded by all, and moreespecially in offices where the useof power is intermittent ; becausewith steam power, if used only atshort intervals during a day, steammust always be kept up, and thefire and boiler constantly watched,while with a gas engine one turnof the wheel and your power is

available, and when done with all

expense ceases. With the gas en-gine there is no dirt, no coal, noengineer, no noise, no smoke, noannoyance, do danger.The Hercules Special is a mod-

ern gas engine, built on the samesubstantial and durable lines as afirst-class steam engine, held in asolid, heavy frame of No. i gradeiron, with all working parts ofbronze or forged steel, highly fin-

ished, with automatic governor,sight feed lubricators, and adjust-able oilers.

The principle of construction is

designed to get the maximum pow-er with the minimum consumptionof gas, and the consumption is au-tomatically regulated to corres-pond with the power used. If only^-horse power is used, then theconsumption of gas is about one-fifth as much as if the maximumpower of the engine was in use.The consumption of gas is aboutfifteen cubic feet per horse-power(actually used) per hour.The gas is ignited by either an

electric spark generated by thecontact of two heavy, hardenedsteel electrodes, which are easilyadjusted while engine is running,or by means of a heated metallictube, or by both methods.

WHEN USED AS A GASOLINE ENGINE.The gasoline, which may be of a cheap grade (74° test), is fed from a tank placed at

a distance, and connected with the gas chamber on the side of engine. The gas passesinto the mixing valve, and combines with the requisite quantity of hot air to secure per-fect combustion, full power, and no smell. Full directions for making and placing gaso-line tank and connecting same are sent with the engine. The gasoline engine consumesabout one-eighth of.a gallon of gasoline per horse-power per hour, and the consumptionis in proportion to the power used.

When required, the Hercules is supplied with the necessary appliances for operatingby both gas and gasoline.

ADVANCE POWER CUTTER.

This is the lowest-priced Power Paper Cutter on the

market, and can be recommended to buyers with whomlow price is a prime consideration.

The Advance Power Cutter is fitted for hand or steam, is solidly built, the frame is

firmly stayed by two substantial cross-braces, upon which is bolted the arch that sup-

ports the center of the bed, making it perfectly rigid and firm under pressure of clampor knife.

It is fitted with the interlocking back gauge and clamp, by which paper may be cut

to within half an inch of the knife.

It has brass figured rules in bed, back and front.

The throw-off is automatic and stops the knife instantly; it may be thrown off at anypoint, thus obviating possible waste of paper through error.

The knife has a dip-cut, which will be duly appreciated by all requiring a powerpaper cutter.

The slideways in which the knife bar moves is faced with steel gibs secured andadjusted by means of three set-screws on each side, so that any wear in the slidewaysmay be taken up quite easily.

This is a very convenient style of cutter, as it will be found to be an effective andeasily operated hand-power cutter at times when other power is not available.

FEISTER-BROWN SELF-CLAMPING PAPER CUTTER.

! !

632


FEISTER-BROWN SELF-CLAMPING PAPER CUTTER.See illustration on opposite page.

The automatic clamp on this cutter is so constructed that it can be made, by the

turn of a lever, to clamp hard or easy as the nature of the work may require. This

clamp is actuated by a patent automatic parallel link motion that has only three work-

ing parts, which cannot get out of order. It will hold one sheet or five inches of paper

with equal security. It is provided with an advance gauge which can be brought downto the work at will, in advance of the knife, and returned to its highest position whetherthe knife is moved or not.

The knife bar is actuated by a very strong shaft, fitted with cranks at both ends.

These cranks have adjustable connecting rods attached to universal bearings on both

ends of the knife bar and on the cranks (no awkward ball joints).

Motion is imparted to the crank shaft by twin gears and forged steel pinions, all

placed inside of the machine frame, with the result that all strain of clamping and cut-

ting is equally distributed over the whole machine frame (no oblique or twisting strains

on the machine).

The machine is driven by one of the most complete friction clutches ever applied to

a machine, which contains the fewest possible parts to be used to obtain the most dura-

ble and best results, and the machine can be run from twenty-five to thirty cuts per

minute with ease and safety.

The whole upper portion of the machine frame, including table, side gauge, girder

and top cross stay or arch, are cast in one solid, massive, rigid piece of iron. Not a bolt

is used, therefore none can work loose, besides the machine has the advantage of being

much truer and stronger than when bolted together in the old way.The back gauge is made in two parts for printers' use and in three parts for book-

binders' use, so that heads, tails and fronts of books can be trimmed without moving or

changing it.

It is fitted with quick traverse movement, as well as hand-screw movement for "fine

precision adjustment."

A measuring band, in convenient sight of the operator, indicates the sizes to be cut,

both in front of the knife as well as between the back gauge and knife.

The back gauge is fitted with patent finger sections that slide so close on the

table that the thinnest tissue cannot get under it. They also enter recesses in the clamp,

so that the last of the stock can be cut up close to the knife. By this method there are

no awkward grooves planed in the table to displace the under sheets, as used on somemakes of machines.

This machine is a model of simplicity in construction. It contains but eight mainmoving parts. There is nothing about it to get out of order.

This cutter is the joint invention of Samuel Brown (inventor of the Brown & Carver

Paper Cutter) and H. P. Feister (inventor of the Feister Perfecting Press and other well-

known machines), and is the fruit of their very lengthy experience in constructing paper

cutters.

in offices remote fromgrinding establishments, as

in the latter the saving notalone of the cost of grind-

ing, but of expressage, de-

lays, and extra knives will

very soon pay for the cost

HEAVY PATTERN AUTOMATIC KNIFE GRINDER.In this style the knife holder is moved by power, and reverses automatically. The

knife holder can be set at different angles from the emery wheel, which has a flat face

with the corners rounded off. If the bed is set at a right angle to the emery-wheelspindle, the knife moves back and forth against the face and is ground a flat bevel ; if it

is set at any other angle the rounded corner will do the grinding and the bevel will beconcave. This feature will be appreciated by those who prefer a flat, stout edge for

rough work, and a thin, concave edge for fine work. The emery wheels are twelveinches in diameter with four-inch face, and can be used up almost entirely. Extrawheels cost $7 00 each, net. The tight and loose pulleys are eight inches in diameter,and should run at 800 revolutions per minute. Weight of the 108-inch grinder is 1800

Two styles are made : No. i, 32-inch, for general use, and No. 2, 34-inch, extra heavy,for work that demands greater power. The knife, gauges and method of operation arethe same on each style. The knife-bar head is adjustable laterally and vertically, andanother adjustment at the head enables the knife bar to be swung either way, so as tosecure its perfect alignment with the bed, and insure a perfect shear cut. The screwsholding the knife-bar head are iî inches in diameter, and are turned at an angle of 55degrees, which prevents the knife bar from springing. The clamp is parallel, and de-scends upon the whole length of sheet at once when the foot is placed on the clampingtreadle. The gauge is operated by a hand wheel attached to a geared pinion and rack.The rack is of steel. One revolution of the hand wheel moves gauge four inches.

No. 6 ACMETREADLE

STAPLE BINDER.

The Only Staple Binder

Which Will Not Clog.

The No. 6AcmeWire Staple

Binder does a greaterrangeofwork, and does better work,than any other staple binder.

At one stroke of the treadle it

drives, clinches and releases

the staple, each operation

being independent, thoughcontinuous. It holds twohundred and fifty staples at

a charge, and round or flat

and fine or coarse staples

may be used. Staples are fed

automatically to driver bypositive pressure on bothlegs, and clogging is pre-

vented by a device whicheffectually prevents morethan one staple getting under

the driver at a time. Theclinch is perfect on an}- thick-

ness. There is ample roomfor putting in and taking out

work, as the driver arm lifts

more than an inch above the

table after each clinch. There

is a long space under the

arm for calendar work. Thetreadle has a positive move-

ment. Every machine is fur-

nished with a strong iron

stand. Will bind to a thick-

ness of & inch through any

kind of paper, and is fur-

nished with both flat and sad-

dle-back tables, with gauges

on the flat bed. For hard or

coated papers, when thework is heavy, flat wirestaples are used.

Which Will Not Clog.

The No. 4 Acme is very

similar in appearance to the

No. 6, and will stitch the samethickness on ordinary paper,

but it uses only round fine

staples, which cannot be usedsuccessfully on coated or

filled paper unless such workis light. This machine is spe-

cially adapted for stapling

the average run ofpamphlets,calendars, sample work, etc.

It does both flat and saddle-

back work. It has the devicefor prevention of clogging,

and the clinching is done bythe pressure of the bladewhile driving the staple.

Holds two hundred and fifty

staples at a charge.

UTILITY OF THESEMACHINES.

The addition of one of the

Acme Treadle Staple Bindersto the plant of small or mod-erate-sized printing offices, in

towns in which there are nobinderies, will make it easyand profitable to bind pamph-lets, receipt books and otherwork. In towns where thereare binderies they enableprinters to save time, savehandling of stock, and to

avoid losses and damage in

transit. All the staple bind-ing machines in use were in-

vented by one man, and theAcmes are the latest andmost efficient. Like all suchmachines there is a certainnack to be acquired in orderto handle them to the bestadvantage. Operators shouldread directions (which ac-company the machines) verycarefully.

PERFECTION WIRE STITCHERS.

Perfection Stitchers, as shown on this and following pages, have for a number ofyears given invariable satisfaction with a minimum of trouble. They are exceedinglywell made and strong. The adjustment from one length of staple to another is accom-plished by changing a pin from one hole on dial plate to another.

These stitchers take wire from spools and make staples from round or flat wire ofany desired length within the capacity of each machine. There are over 10,000 staples

of the length used on an ordinary pamphlet in one pound of No. 25 wire.

UNION TABLETING APPARATUS.In this apparatus paper is held for padding

without the use of screws or clamps. Thetrough (Fig. i) is V-shaped, and is held at anangle which holds the paper snugly againstthe sides and the iron base-plate, which formsthe bottom of the trough when it is tilted up.The paper in the trough is held under pres-sure by a heavy iron weight or brick ; thetrough is tilted up,and is lifted away,leaving the ironbase-plate, paperand iron brick asin Fig. 2. The ad-vantage this meth-od has over the

tablet presses using clamps is that, by buying extra base-plates and iron bricks, an unlimited number of piles of papermay be put up without waiting for the drying of the cement

;

thus the capacity of this apparatus surpasses that of otherapparatus used for a like purpose, and is equally as welladapted for use in both large and small establishments.

Diesare made of steel. The counteris usuallymade of bristol board,thin rubber cloth and thin pa-per, and is fastened to bed-platewith glue or gum arabic. Theinks are made from dry colors,mixed with white damar var-nish. The ink is smeared overthe die, and the face of the dieis cleaned of ink, and polishedby rubbing on paper. Bronzedeffects are obtained by emboss-ing with varnish instead of ink.and dusting on the bronze;superfluous bronze is taken oft

by-dusting with a brush. Anvprinter can do this work, andthus add a lucrative depart-ment to the business.

This press is the best made,and is used by all the leadinghouses.

CARVER & SWIFT POWER STAMPING PRESS.Prints and Embosses atOne Impression.

The die is held in a double-jawed chuck on bed of press;immediately over the bed in its vertical

position is a counter-block, driven up and down by connection with a powerful toggle. The counter

is made in the same way as on the hand-stamping press, described on the next page. The ink

fountain is at rear of press, having a continuously revolving roller which serves to keep the ink

"alive." An oscillating arm carries the distributer, which supplies ink to the die on its backwardand forward motion. As the die travels forward, it passes under the wiping plate, around which a

web of manilla wiping paper is carried. The contact with the wiping paper removes all ink from the

surface of the die, leaving it only in the engraved parts. The bed travels to a vertical position, whereit is automatically locked and held for the impression. The sheets are fed to gauge pins as on a job

press, and thus at one feeding the most beautiful results are produced.

Perfect register is insured for burnishing bronzed work.by the fact that the machine is provided

with an automatic lock, which holds the bed in position while the impression is made.

Any properly engraved die from one line, or monogram, up to commercial dies measuring three

and one-half inches by eight inches, can be successfully stamped.

The speed is a matter most generally determined by the operator, and while a general average

would be about nine thousand impressions per day, the machine has a record of seventeen thousand

in less than eleven hours.

The machine weighs about four thousand pounds and occupies a floor space of three feet nine

inches by four feet six inches, exclusive of projecting feed boards.

STIMPSON ROUND-HOLE PERFORATING MACHINES.

This illustrates the 25, 30 and 36-iuch Stimpson Perforators.

This is conceded to be the best line of perforators made in the world. Nothing has

been neglected in the way of good material, good workmanship and accurate adjust-

ments, and consequently they do the best work, and wear longer than any other perfo-

rators. For those who keep a perforator in constant use an investment in one of these

perforators will prove the most profitable, and will be found to keep up a perfect

standard of work for many years. Power may be applied to any size.

These perforators are made to make two sizes of perforations—No. 60 iâuge (15

holes to an inch), and No. 65 gauge (18 holes to an inch). The No. 65 sauge is the most

satisfactory for checks, bonds, drafts, stubs and labels.

PEERLESS

ROTARY PERFORATOR.

For Power.

A thoroughly-tested, successful rotary power perforator, cutting six or less separate

lines of perforations at a time, and provided with adjustable striking cams for skipping

the perforations any distance, from the usual lengths of stubs to very short spaces. Whenthe skip is as short as half an inch special fitting must be done, at a small extra expense.

Accurate gauges, easily changed, are provided. The sheets deliver themselves after per-

foration into a lay-box, taking up very little room, and stacking the sheets regularly.

Sheets are fed to machine as into a ruling machine.

Not the least remarkable feature is the form of the perforations, which are cut out

of the paper cleanly, without any trace of burr, in oblong holes instead of the usual

round holes. The machine will perforate a single sheet of manifold paper (without the

usual aid of a thicker sheet) or heaviest manilla paper.

The oblong perforations are the distinctive feature of this machine. There is no

displacement or swell of the paper along the perforated lines, and the clean cut of every

hole, the absence of all burr, and the ease with which the paper separates through the

perforations, commend the machine to all who aim to do the best grade of work.

This perforator is in use in a majority of the first-class manufacturing stationers and

printing houses, and is built thoroughly well. All parts are interchangeable.

STYLE 2=B HICKOK HAND STRIKER RULING MACHINE.

Designed for small shops, where ruling is not done very rapidly, and where, there-

fore, the ink has time to dry (though the carrier is short) after the paper has passedunder the pens and before it drops into the receiving box at feeder's feet. So far as

material and workmanship are concerned, there is nothing better made than Style 2-B.

The difference between it and the higher-priced rulers is simply in the number of partsused. Striking is accomplished on this machine exactly as it is on the Style i-A ruling

machine. Paper drops into receiving box.

STYLE i=A HICKOK HAND STRIKER RULING MACHINE.

Style i-A Ruling Machine is for use in shops where there is considerable faint orcross ruling, thus economizing the time of automatic strikers used in the same shop. It

may also be used in small-sized binderies, where there is not sufficient work for an auto-matic striker machine. The operator turns the hand crank with the left hand, thusoperating the machine by hand, while with the right hand the pen-beam is tilted up anddown, doing hand striking. Power may be applied, and steam attachments are furnishedto order at an extra charge. Style i-A is as perfectlv built in every part as the mostexpensive automatic striker ruling machine. The difference in construction is simplyleaving off the striker parts and some other necessary pieces required on an automaticstriker machine.

for prices, see next page.

662


STYLE 1 SINGLE BEAM AUTOMATIC STRIKER RULINGMACHINE.

Style i is used for faint or cross-lining when the striker is not operated, and also fordown ruling from cross or head lines when the automatic striker is used for the purposeof leaving unruled head spaces by automatically raising the pens from the paper andallowing them again to descend upon the paper, the pens beginning to rule immediatelyupon touching the paper at a cross head line, and again being automatically raised fromthe paper and lowered upon the paper again successively at distances prearranged bythe positions of the cams, which are adjusted by the' operator, who sets them in the cir-

cular-revolving cam-heaa. This machine is for use on all classes of job ruling. ;

'

FOR MAILING DEPARTMENT.

THEHORTONMAILER.

.JjjrPatented

May ii, 1894.

5T

This is the best label-pasting mailer. It is quicker and more exact, because all its

movements are positive. It is so simple that it can be worked rapidly and efficiently bythe inexpert, while experts have addressed with it at the rate of 170 per minute. It is

operated, as illustrated, by one hand, leaving the other entirely free to manipulate the

papers or wrappers.It guides and thoroughly pastes the slip, scrapes off all surplus paste, and sticks the

label cleanly and firmly. The knives are thin and adjustable, with two cutting surfaces,

and can be easily sharpened. The arrangements for adjusting knives with each otherand regulating tension of knives are very exact.

It is very strongly made, and is the most durable of mailers.

The Ladies' Home Journal\ Philadelphia ; circulation, 690,000: " We have placed it in the hands offour of our experiencea mailers, each having been given sufficient time to get acquainted with it, so

that we might have more than one opinion. They were all satisfied that the machine is an improve-ment on any they have used. The Horton Mailer cuts and pastes the slip on the Journal or wrappermore thoroughly than the machines we have been using. . We do not believe it has an equalon the market to-day."

The exact size is 12 inches long by 3 inches wide by 5 inches high, and the weight is 2^ pounds.

GUM PASTE.For Mailing Machines and for Wrapping.

To get the best results from a label-pasting mailer it is necessary to use a paste of

exactly the proper consistency and of first-class sticking quality. Tnis article is thin-

flowing, stronger and better than ordinary flour paste. Sticks labels or wrappers quickly,and does not harden in the keg. It will keep for three months.

ECONOMY WRAPPER PASTER.Patent applied f<

The paste fountain has a perforated bottom throughwhich the paste reaches the top sheet of a pile, which maycontain four hundred sheets. As the top sheet is drawnoff, the next is pasted automatically and instantly, and soon. Wrappers are pasted as fast they can be drawn fromthe pile.

It saves all the time of "laying out " and applying pastewith a brush, fifty per cent, in paste, and a great deal ofspace, as three or four hundred wrappers occupy no moretable room than one, and you can wrap on top of thepile, as indicated in the cut.

HOKE CROWN ENGRAVING PLATES.(patented.)

A Crown Engraving Plate consists of a thin, dark, steel plate, covered with a soft, white composi-tion. By means of special tools, used after the manner of pens, the drawing is made by cutting throughthe composition to the dark surface of the steel plate, which shows the drawing as it will appear whenprinted. No apprenticeship is needed. Anyone able to draw can do the work. Speed is gained bypractice. Three or four tools and a scraping brass is all that is required for ordinary work. After thedrawing is finished, a stereotype cast is made from it and the cut is ready for the press. The quicknessand cheapness of the process are apparent. Any stereotype foundry can cast the plates, but for thosewho desire to do their own casting we have special simple and cheap stereotyping outfits suited toevery line of work.

This process is suitable for rapid newspaper illustration. A cut may be got ready inside of thirtyminutes.

PRICE LIST AND TELEGRAPH CODE.The telegraphic code will be found convenient when plates are wanted in a hurry.

IMPOSITION OF FORMS.

HINTS ON IMPOSITION : A Hand-book for Printers. By T. B. Williams.

Leather, 90 pp. ,$1 .00. For sale at all Branches of the American Type Found-

ers' Company, and recommended to all who desire the fullest information

concerning the imposition of forms.

The make-up should learn to use the measuring rule or tape measure and dividers.

They are more convenient to measure with than paper, and their use is regarded as evi-

dence of knowledge of the imposition of book forms. The dividers will enable the make-

up to verify his measurements quickly. Printers' dividers cost 85 cents.

Ascertain what furniture will be required for the margins of a book form before plac-

ing it upon the stone. Time will be saved, and the work will have the appearance of

order and neatness.

After a book form is imposed, tighten the quoins, and ascertain by means of a straight-

edge or square if the pages are of equal length and the head lines or bottom folios are

exactly in line. The folios are usually the guides for hand-folding and should receive

great attention, otherwise the binder will not secure good register. For the same reason,

folios should all be set exactly in the middle of the width of the page.

After a book form has been locked up, it should be tested for squareness with a

square. Forms are liable to get twisted or bowed in locking up, especially if the chase

is weak. This defect can usually be remedied by loosening the quoins on one side and

tightening them on the opposite side.

MARGINS.The proper allowances for head and back margins are matters of judgment and

preference to a great degree.

The head and foot margins of a trimmed book are usually of equal proportions, but,

as the binder will almost invariably find it necessary to cut off more paper from the foot

than from the head, the make-up must make sufficient allowance for this extra trim.

When the pages have running heads one-third or less shorter than the width of the

page, one-half of the space occupied by the running head should be thrown into the head

margin, because the white around the running head is to be considered as part of the

head margin. If a folio only is used over a page, the head margin is to be calculated

from the top line of the page.

The make-up must know whether a book is to be wire-stitched through the back or

sewed through the fold. If wire-stitched through the back, an extra allowance additional

to the back margin required must be made a little in excess of the space used by the

wire. This space varies according to thickness of the book, but is rarely less than three-

sixteenths of an inch on each side of the back margin, or three-eighths of an inch in the

back gutters.

In forms of 32 pages or more it is advisable, where it is possible, to impose the pages

so that the sheet may be cut and folded in signatures of half the number of pages,

especially when the paper is heavy ; but if the form is imposed to fold as one complete

signature then it is advisable to deduct enough from the back margin of the inner sec-

tions to equal the extra space taken up by the fold of the outside sections.

In imposing forms of 12 or 24 pages, great care must be taken to get the foot and head

margins of the inset to be folded in exactly right, and the head and foot margins in such

forms should be as evenly divided as possible. More accurate register is obtained when

the inset is cut off and folded separately.

PRICE LIST OF PRINTING AND BINDING:

A GUIDE FOR CHARGING.

Compiled by DAVID RAMALEY, St. Paul, Minn.

Copyrighted by David Ramaley, 1896.

The object of this publication is to unify prices, and to form a basis for agree-

ments among printers in figuring on competitive work. The prices given are

supposed to be fifty per cent, above the actual labor and material cost of the work,

with ordinary conditions. The variable factor of general expense is only figured

in the labor expense, because the paper or other stock used has a special expense

of cutting and counting and handling equal to the proportion of general expense

charge. Twenty per cent, offfrom these prices will not leave twenty per cent,

profit in all cases, because sharp competition has forced down the prices of manykinds of commercial printing. A discount of twenty per cent, from the prices, in

a general way, is supposed to leave twenty per cent, profit, but the factor of general

expense must be considered.

INDEX TO RAMALEY'S PRICE LIST.

Abstracts of title .


SAFE BASIS ON WHICH TO DO A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.[Adaptedfrom the Code of Ethics of the United Typothetcz of America^

The expense of doing business, such as the wear and tear of material, interest on

money invested, bad debts, rents, taxes, insurance, book-keeping, and all other items of

expense, should be ever before our eyes, and we should never forget that these must be

as surely levied on each particular job as its labor costs.

Always have the courage to ask for a fair remuneration for any work offered, resting

assured that it will be more profitable to be without a job than to secure one in which

there is a temptation to resort to questionable methods in order to avoid a financial loss

in its execution.

A master printer should always contend that he is entitled, when asked for an esti-

mate, to know the names of all who are to be requested to bid on the work. He should

also insist upon his right, if he desires it, to know all the prices offered for the work andto whom and at what price it was awarded.

A master printer should not make estimates for work that he cannot do. It is always

unsafe and often unjust to give prices upon a class of work upon which the cost is not

positively known and has to be guessed at.

Estimates calling for detailed specifications of separate value of the paper, composi-

tion, electrotyping, presswork, ruling, binding, etc., should always be refused.

EXPLANATORY.The prices under the several divisions of each list, such as " ioo," "250," 1000," in-

clude all regular charges for labor and material to the customer unless otherwise stated,

and when there is a variable factor in such prices the amount estimated for such variable

factor is quoted, so that the printer can readily adjust the price in accordance with the

conditions governing the work. For instance, on page 214, in Advertising Programmes,the variable factor is composition. The price for 100 4-page Advertising Programmes on

22X32 quarto print paper is $18.25, on the basis of 8-point composition, fn which amountis included a charge of $17.20, for composition at $4.30 per page. Now, if composition

should be based on 10 Point, deduct the difference in cost, and if on 6 Point, add the

difference. In other instances the variable factor is the cost of paper.

We figure composition at 70c. per 1000 in all work, including locking up or makingup, and at 60c. per hour for time work.

Paper is included in these prices at an average advance of 50 per cent, on cost,

unless othewise stated; but this includes storage, handling, wastage and cutting—items

that are never paid for if the printer only adds 10 or 15 per cent, to cost of paper.

COMPOSITION.To be figured at 70c. per 1000 ems, and time work 60c. an hour.Alterations to be figured separately from composition, and charged at the hour rate.

CARD SCALE.

The card scale on opposite page agrees approximately with the card scales issued

by various dealers in cardboard. There is no standard scale. Printers should procure

the card scale of the dealers who supply them with cards. The " Convenient Card Scale

and Table of Prices," compiled by Mr. C. F. Pedrick and copyrighted and issued to the

trade by Irwin N. Megargee & Co., dealers in cards, 12 S. Sixth St., Philadelphia, will save

printers a great deal of time and insure accuracy in estimating. This valuable scale

shows at a glance : (1) Cost per 1000 cards of any size after being cut from any kind or

quality of board, ranging in list price from $1.00 to $15.00 per 100 sheets, 22X28 inches;

(2) Which way of the sheet a card of any size will cut to the best advantage; (3) Number

of sheets of 22X28 inches cardboard required to cut 1000 cards of any size. This scale is

printed on a large sheet of bond paper in two colors, and applicants for it should inclose

ten cents in postage stamps.

BUSINESS CARDS.The sizes and figures given for business cards such as 11—91, 50c. stand for 11 full sheets

each cutting 91 cards, and the value, including cutting of 1000 of such cards, is 50 cents.

On the general rule that all the prices given in these tables have a margin of profit the

stock figures represent an addition to the cost of 50 per cent.

Costing $1.60 for 100 full sheets.

Round-corner cards will add 50c. for each 1000, added to the foregoing figures.

For cheap entertainment cards use $2.00 scale. For business cards use the $4.00

scale, unless specially requested for another grade.

In colored ink, add 50c. to the gross price for any number under 1000, and 10c. for

added 1000. For two forms, two colors, add $1.00 to the gross price;presswork scale for

second form.

Cards, backed with another form on cheap grades, add $i.oo, and print both sides

at once. On grades on this page make separate presswork and charge 50c. and press-

work scale to gross price.
