A NEW PRINTING MACHINE.

a revolution to the newspaper press.
WILKINsoN's CyLINDRIcAL RoTARy PRINT
LEG PREss.--This machine in every essential
simple and compact-combning the most
perfect ease in movement with the greatest
power in action of any press hitherto invent

! The inventor, Jeptha A. Wilkinson, of the
city of Providence, has devoted much time
in perfecting this extraordinary combinations
which now promises new era, if it Goes not

All the motions of this press are rotary =
The type are adapted 10 and brought into
elcular form and placed on cylinders; one of
which is made to print the upper, and the
other the underside of a continuous sheet Of
paper, which is made 10 pass directly through
the machine and come out, printed on both
sides, folded into a convenient form, and cut
OIL ready for delivery. All the reciprocaiing
movements heretofore used are abandoned
and simple rotary motions substituted through
out. Consequently, the exceedingly smooth
and Uniform action o. this press is almost ex-
empt from the danger Of derangmeni, or get
ting out of order, and subject of very little
wear. -r -f a-I . lrI.a 6.
The types, moreover possess in their shape
a great advantage. They are so formed thai
they must nessarily all stand the right way !;
and in their action upon the paper are not
subject to injury by being battered and they
are much less worn and disfgured by use
than type employed in the old way. To
which may also be added the important ad-
vantage of casting upon the radii of a circle,
and using upon the cylinders stereotype plates
exactly conformabe to the cylinder and made
10 move like the type, completely in cir
Gle.
The velocity in the movement of this press
is perhaps the most extraordinary feature
Such is the astonishing rapidity with which
impressions may be multiplied, that at an Or
dinary speed &c, 900 imperial sheets may with
great ease be printed on both sides, folded
and cut neatly from continuous sheet in one
hours time. Thus 100000 impressions can
be made, besides the folding and cutting of
the sheet; in one hours time by n single
machine, without the aid of the human hand.
With these advantages for quick work, this
press can be staid up the very hour of issu-
ing the paper. There is no difficulty what
ever in placing the type on the cylinders.
Indeed, all the details of composing, arrang-
ing, taking proofs and transferring, so COM
pletely practical and can be accomplished with
the same facility as on The old plan. .-...
/ There is nothing, therefore, to prevent the
success of this machine, the absolute cost of
which is also much less than that of the Dou.
bic Cylinder Napier Press, or any other used
in the old way. 1t can be worked by any
ordinary power, one man or active boy only
being required TO attend press, place the roll
of paper upon the machine, and carry away
the printed and folded sheets as fast as they
are, by thousands, thrown fIom the machine.
Thus the expence of numerous gangs Of
hands, such as are usually employed about
the old press, either in printing, folding OF
handing the papers, may be dispensed with
and work which hitherto has required from
twelve 10 sixteen hands during most of the
day and night may now be performed by
this machine, and one hand only, in The shor'
space of two or three hours.
And these are not the only advantages
! presented in the crowd resulting from the use
of this perfect and singular combination OF
Neutrality-suspicious. are many others, and
among them some of highly important char.
acter, which extend from the press to almost
every branch connected in typographical ar!
and some of them reach, and will greatly
abrldge, the operations and expense in the
manufacture of paper which by this process:
of printing, can now be brought from the mil
in roll Of any required dimehtion, and con
tanning many thousand yards in length, of the
necessary degree of dampness for use, with
the trouble and additional cost, of drying
cutting, and packing in reams or bundles, a,
heretofore done. .-4i rrl Ne r- ia..llI.
With these immense facilities, times ant
expense in printing may be literally annihi
lated while fresh and extensive energy vii
be given to the diffusion of knowledge, anc
new and increase impulse to Literature ant
