A SIMPLE and inexpensive process for
making facsimile copies of letters with
an ordinary copying press is announced.
The letter is first written with q very
strong aniline ink, and is then suffered to
dry naturally without the use Of blotter.
When dry, sheet of transfer-paper is
dampened las In ordinary copying) and
laid over the letter, and both are placed
in leather folio or printing pad" and
placed in a common press. On taking
these from the press, the transfer paper
has copy If the letter in reverse, and,
while this is still wet, writing paper is
laid ON it, and the two are again submit
ted to the press. This gives q fac-simile
of the letter, and number of copies may
be taken from the transfer paper in the
same way till the copies become faint.
To take more copies, the transfer may be
restored by dampening the back of the
transfer paper, or by taking second, or
even third, transfer from the original let
ter. This process recommends itself for
simplicity and cheapness, and seems like
ly to prove as useful as the ordinary copy
ing press.-Scri6ner for June.
