Kotary multiple Color Printing maonine.
I. SYDNEY, TABER, MOWBRAY Engineer of Leigh Manor Cuckfield in the County of
Sussex do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of the printing on paper or other printable material, in any
number of colors by means of two cylinders of unlike diameters, ono being the forme,
or type Cylinder, and the other the blanket Cylinder.
The Machine as shewn on the drawing, consists of a blanket Cylinder A, a type or
forine Cylinder B, a taking off frame or Cylinder C, and ink ducts E, F, G, H for
the different coloured inks; mounted on a frame. D. The Machine is arranged to be
fed by hand, or from a roll.
The paper is fed in by means of tapes, and grippers, and at the first revolution of
the Cylinder A each sheet receives an impression in one color; at the next revolution
each sheet receives an impression in another color, and so on until the required
number of colors on each sheet is impressed; nt which point the sheets are taken off
the Cylinder A by means of grippers on to the frame or Cylinder C, and are discharged
by means of tapes, and flyers in the usual way.
The type or forme Cylinder carries as many formes, as the required number of
colors; each forme receiving its ink, or color from a different duct.

1, SYDNEY TADER MOWBRAY residing at 00 Breakspears Road, Brockley London
formerly of Leigh Manor Cuckfield in the County of Sussex, by calling engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to bo
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
Blatement :-
The principal parts of the machine are:-The forme or type cylinder B, blanket
cylinder A, taking-off cylinder C, ink-duct arrangement, and side frames D. The
chief point of the machine is the printing in one, two, or more colors with only one
blanket cylinder and one type or forme cylinder, these being of different diameters.
The machine shown by drawings filed with ny provisional specification is for
priuting in one, two, three, or four colors & has one forme and one blanket cylinder
bearing a ratio in diameter to one another of 4 5 respectively. The process of
printing is as follows:-
The paper, being fed in by hand or from the reel, is cut off to the required size o
Price R11

page_text: sheets in the usual inanner.
The sheets are then taken automatically on to the
blanket cylinder A and at the first revolution of this cylinder each different sheet
receives an impression in a different color. At the second revolution of this
cylinder A each sheet receives an impression in another or second color and this
operation is continued until each sheet has received impressions in the required
number of colors, when the sheets are taken automatically off the blanket cylinder A
by the taking-off cylinder C and thence to the flyers. While the printed sheets are
being taken off the blanket cylinder A by the taking-off cylinder Ċ fresh sheets are
being fed on blanket cylinder A and the process is repeated. Each forme on the
forme or type cylinder B receives its ink from its respective duct, the different ducts
being charged with different colored ink.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. The printing on paper or other printable material in two or more colors by
means of two revolving cylinders of unlike diameters (the forme & the blankot
cylinder); the forme cylinder can either be of larger or smaller diameter than the
blanket cylinder.
