inc old saying that there is nothing
new under the sun does not apply 10 the
printing business. Chicago genius has
produced z machine which does what
it is said to 40. We give, however, the
manufacturers own description of the
machine:
For the last 600 years, thousan DIS of
great ans profound thinking men, of
wonderful inventive minds and genius,
have lahOred and toled in vain, and
spent their whole lives and fortunes i'm
the attempt To ace Omplish this wonder
tul feat or object, which we have now 50
successfully completed and accom-
plished, aud are enabled and capable of
exhibiting, proving and demonstrating
To tho world, without any fear of sue
cessiul contradiction, that our typngraph
machine does all we claim for iG aud a
great deal more. We further claim, i'm
addition to the great speed, time, labor,
material ana money investment saving,
that no work done hand, however
good, is Of such good, fine,
even and perfect quality, and high order
of work manship. This matriS-
ma ing machine differs radically in
operation and principle from all other
type.setting machines heretofore in
vented. 1t employs only a sunicie t
number OF types To- set up one comnlete
| line at a time, the entire number (, {
types, both upper aud lover case, being
oniY $50 altogether, with the figures aud
| punctuation marks, etc. The types are
all attached to arms, which are con-
nected with keys arranged system
alica'l y on key board, and operated
somewhat like the KEYS OF Il piano
or organ. thereby setting up types
| from six 10 ten times faster
Than types are set up "
hand. The justifyirg is done entirely
automatically by the use of spring
| spaces attached To arms, and operated
| 10y key in the same mann r rs the
| types are operated. The distribution il
also done entirely automatically, and
| practically instautanpOuSly; by this
means doing away entirely with about
Oue-halt OF the work When one entire
line is set up, and properly spaced or
| lusliNed, an impression Is then taken in
u plastic substance, such IA wax, card
board, pHpier. mache or wood, by means
of an Impression plate To which
tho substance in which the i'm

tached, This impression plato comes
down evenly ON the face of the type,
thus making tho Impressions OF an equal
depth; AZ tue impres sion plate comes
down, aud before tho impression is
taken, the machine automatically
str ightens up the line ana holds 1t IN \
wise, aud ~ the same time automatic
ally moves the paste substance just
sufficiently for any desired distance an
the space between the lines, thus doing
away entirely with the use of leads or
spaces. When the Impression is taken,
the machine OmatiCally distributes
| the types, and Immediately the same
| types are ready again for use In the
next line; aud thus the operation
/ is repeated until II column is
set up Of any desired length
| When sufficient number OF columns
are made To form page Of book nr
newspaper, they are turned over 10 the
eleCtfOlyper, or stereutyper, az thu ease
may be, and the plates made 10y the
same process as row in usn, TIE nd
vantage possessed by this machine will
be readily steu and appreciated by thnse
engaged in the printing and publishing
husiuese; the accuracy and regularity
OF lts work especially adapt IL Tor print
! ing fine books and pamphlets; while It's
speed makes it indispensable In the pub
! LEGATION of newspapers, legal documents
and briefs. It's great mo aud labor
saving qualities render IL absolutely
! ecessary tn all branches Of the printing
aud publishing business Stationei
and Printer.
