IMPROVED PRINTING PRESS.
A Printing Prefs, on an improved plan,
has lately been made by Mr.. George ely
mer of this city. The Object Of The i'm.
Proyernent is not to do greater quantity
OF work in a given time, bur thar the
work may be performed with greater cafe.
The defects of rhe old plan are obvious
10 any perion IN the ieaf acquainted with
mechanics; but as many printers have not
made the mechsni1m of prenes a part Of
their ftudy, IL may not be improper 70
point out the mott prominent of ttete de-
fetts.
The method of cutting the common
fcrew, requires a variation, in diameter,
OF at leait an eighth of an inch betwcen
the bottom and the top, to enable the fmi,h
to get off the cat box of the fcrew: this
defect gives a circular VARIATION to the
point OF the fpirdle round the centre, which
produces comfortable jar on the platten;
hence Turing, maekline, quivering of the
Preis, alternate heavy and light impTeaions
