TUDOR ENGLAND. 199 & 201 VAN BUREN ST., ST., LONDON, E.C, " " THERE has always been a demand for a first-class Single Large or Drum-Cylinder Press for the ordinary jobwork in city and country offices, which shall also print, at a rapid rate of speed, newspapers of moderate circulation. We have made heretofore what we called our Hand-Cylinder Machine ; but the labor of driving without steam power has proved too great in most cases. This place such as turn off the best class of job and new Press is intended not only to take the of machines, but, before stated, to stationery work. "We have combined in it our latest patents and improvements. The register is as perfect as can be obtained on any press of this description. There is a segment on the cylinder which gears into a rack on the bed during the impression. The delivery cylinder, with fingers, takes the sheet, conveying it to the fly without smutting the impression, and the necessity for tapes around the large cylinder is obviated. There are none. The air-spring gives an easy and noiseless motion to the bed, and the fly works without noise. The frame has been made with an eye to strength and solidity. In combines all that a large experience of years has make it efficient and short, this machine many suggested, to economical. All the gearing throughout is cut from the solid. The workmanship and material used in it are all of the highest quality. We guarantee this Press in all respects.. Our facilities are such that in making them as we do, a number at a time, we are able to put the price low. SIZES AND PRICES.
