Abstract: 21,834. Buttenshaw, E. L. Oct. 4. Printing - apparatus. - Consists chiefly in means for simultaneously printing a number of positives from a single negative. For this purpose a number of box units abutting together are employed, each of the form shown in Fig. 2. The box a has a hinged cover a' in which is an exposure aperture a<2>. The negative film e is drawn in through the slit e<2>, and the positive film c is unwound from a spool b and passes over a roller c<1> to be drawn with the film e across the exposure opening by the spiked wheel f and roller f<1>, The exposed positive film passes over the rollers f<3> and f<4> and is wound on the spool g, which is mounted on the pivoted arm g<2> and is rotated by frictional engagement of the film with the rim of the rotating wheel h. The wheel h is secured to the shaft of the driven wheel j; a second wheel i on the same shaft drives the wheel i<2> to rotate the spiked wheel f. The negative film leaves the box by the slit f<2> and passes either into the next box or over a roller k to be wound on the spool l which is similar to the spool g. The negative film is thus drawn through any required number of boxes in succession, a positive being printed in each box. The chain n is used to drive the series of wheels j and also the wheel m<2>.
