Automatic Hand Press Feeder.

This invention, for which a patent
was obtained by Messrs. E. Mathers &
w. D. Siegfried, is now ready for the
market. Mr.. M. has put up working
model, exhibiting the perfection to
which the patentees have brought their
Improvement, and we may as well ac-
knowledge that it's beautiful operation
has upset our skepticism as to its prac-
tical utility, cherished through the ear
lier progress of their work. Besides
showing the operation of feeding sheets
to the hand press and hiking the form,
(Which is the design of the machine, and
which it performs with astonishing ac-
curacy) the working model is credit
to the genius and mechanism of it's
builder. If the automatic feeder can
be gotten up with such perfection of
operation on so small scale as is rep
resented in the model, there can be no
difficulty in applying it to the ordinary
hand press; and when so applied, a lit
tic practice will enable the pressman to
throw off double the amount of work to
the hour. The Improvement, dispcns-
ing as it does, with the tympan, frisket
and ordinary roller, can be put to the
Washington, Smith or Columbian press
al, a cost d To-sgor $50. Asitis now
about to be offered to the trade, the ty-
geographic fraternity will soon have the
opportunity to test its rSrits for them
selves.
