ders The speed at which these cylinders may be msss
reyove. would seem to be only limited by the rate at whi
the printing paper may be unwound from the roll; and Il,
is obviously very great At the experimental trial observed
BY US the papers thrown of n; the Of seventy
five per minute This number judged could be EASILY
doubled and Il was the conviction Of the inventor Inst
could be quadrupled without difficulty. II tho macAss
would print eighteen thousand newspapers per hour which
is something more than double the capacity OF great
press which is not presume surpassed by any ness
per press now running
But whatever may be found to be the exact capsayd
this press in its printing power s cheapness and simplicity
of construction and its ability perform unconaOa

remarkable Tiff shall turn out that there are no hnlca
or nconveniences arising from the new mode Of selngy
upon small cyntrs and in the mode Of unrolng the paper
adopted by Mr. Wilkinson, do not zee butths press mas
mark an era in the art of printing When paper can DO
taken from roll revolving with tho utmost rapidly AMI
printed upon 10th sides at rate limited only by the rvor
tons of the roll it would that the art ofpnug could
60 no farther as respects rapidly of action
The press of Mr. Beaumonts invention which we noticed
some days ago and which is soon to be brought ou By
Messrs Hoe & Co. aims to do substantially the same thing
though the construction of his press quite different from
that of Mr. Wilkinson, well as more complex Il
takes larger number of hands to work IT, and it' caps
ity to print is considered even greater We weccns
alike all improvements looking toward printing with
increased eheapness and rapidly for not only cOnc'ra
our craft hut il concerns the progress and mproyemsnid
