The "novel machine" is o largo web
press similar to the kind newspapers
are printed on, but arranged to take
curved electrotypes Of each page of
book, instead Of single large metal
cylinder casting. There ore two cylin-
ders, on each of which LA pages may
be screwed, and rs the long strip Of
paper COOS through firs. ono side is
printed and then the othor, making IL.
possible to print 2ss pages ut every
revolution. The strip OF paper. after
being carried over rollers which dry
the ink, is cut, folded and brought to-
gether into tho shape Of small vol
ume, with the edges all trimmed.
Every time the great cylinder goes
around novel is printed, folded an |
trimmed, and 5000 of these are tnrncd
out every hour, while, il it were nec-
essary, 1000 or 5000 might DO tho
quota.
From the printing press these books
are carried to little machine that
looks like sewing machine; aal tive
wire stitches are taken in The back
of each. The stitched volumes nro
then carried to the covering machine,
where they. 4rs put side to side. in q

little compartments on this chain, and

against its back, smearing it with
glue. A little farther along there is a
pile of covers Niat comes up at Just
the right moment, leaving n cover
sticking to the gluey back of the book.
OF course the cover stands out straight
OH each side, but as it is carried all
the way around on the chain tho glue
thus has chance to dry. When the
circuit has been made tho book drops
of on it's back, and by falling in be-
tween other books the covers arc
folded up against the sides.
In this way fifty books can he cov-
cred every minute. Two hundred md
fifty thousand Of these paper covered
novels are thus turned out every two
weeks, and extra editions o 5000 or
SO are often worked i'll besides.
1t is the paper which costs the
most, nearly five times the price OF

cents for novel. The rest o. the cx
