runs at full speed when 6 page or IL

10 page papers it runs at one-half
the speed Of the main press, because
it then produces only one sheet to
every two from the main press. The

associate the sheets from the supple

the patented device, before mentioned,
is used, and as the edges of the paper
must meet perfectly to give the paper
proper appearance and when it is con-
sidered that seven complete news
papers are produced in every second
of time, it will be seen that this
mechanism must work with great pre-

This knowledge served him in good

establish plant for manufacture OF

1902 brought models and machinery
from France and set up the original
