PAUL, of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Dyer, do send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Fourth day of February, One thousand seven hundred and
ninety-six, and in the thirty-sixth year of His reign, did give and grant unto
me, the said William Paul, my executors, administrators, and assigns, His
special licence that I, the said William Paul, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, during the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully
might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town
of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my "NEW-INVENTED MACHINE UPON THE GENERAL PRIN-
CIPLES OF MY OLD MACHINE, BUT WITH SUCH IMPROVEMENTS AS TO RENDER THE SAME
OF MORE EXTENSIVE UTILITY FOR PRINTING OF COTTONS, LINENS, WOOLLENS, SILKS,
OR ANY ARTICLES FABRICATED OR MATERIALS TO BE FABRICATED OR MIXED OF
SAID ARTICLES; ALSO PAPER FOR HANGINGS OR OTHER USES;" in which said Letters
Patent there is contained a proviso obliging me, the said William Paul, under
my hand and seal, to cause a particular description of the nature of my said
Invention and improvement of my said machine or machinery, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty's High
Court of Chancery within one calendar month next and immediately after the
date of the said recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same (relation being.
thereunto had) may more fully and at large appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, 1, the said
William Paul, do hereby declare that my said machine, invention, and
improvement thereon, is described in manner following:-
I use rollers which may be made of wood, copper, brass, pewter, or any
metal or mixture of metals; they may be cut, engraved, cast, or mindo either
convex or concave, and are prepared as follows; see the Drawing annexed.
Fig. 1, a pinion or small wheel, on which are twelve teeth or cogs, and is
made of two parts, see Fig. 2, the outer rim on which the teeth or cogs are,
and has a round hole A, and in the sunk part thereof four slots 1. 2. 3. 4.
Fig. 3, the inner part of said wheel or pinion; the round part of this
fits into the round part of the outer rim, and has a square hole N. to admit
the square part of a maundril or axle of a printing roller. 1, 2, 3, 4, aro
four holes, screw-tap'd; the other four holes are countersunk, through which
the plate is screwed to the outer rim; this sort of pinions or wheels I use
when the pattern is engraved, cut, cast, or made concave upon the rollers.
Fig. 4, a round plate with a round hole A, to fit upon a maundril or axlo
of a printing roller. 1, 2, 3, 4, are four holes, screw-taped; the other four
holes are countersunk; through which this plate is screwed to the end of a
printing roller. Fig. 5 is another round plate with a square hole H to admit
the square part of a maundril or axle of a printing roller. 1, 2, 3, 4, are
four slots to which it is screw'd to the round plate Figure Four, in holes one,
two, three, four, by which means it may be turned backward and forward ocen-
sionally. These pinions or small wheels and round plates are drawn on
considerably too large a scale, on purpose to shew and explain the slots,
scrow holes, &c., with their uses, as may be seen by the small figures of the
same numbers. Fig. 6, one of the small screws used in screwing the outer
and inner rim of said pinions or small wheels together, as also for screwing
said round plates Fig. Four and Fig. Five together. Fig. 7, a round plate,
with a round hole N to admit the round part of a maundril of a printing
roller, and is screw'd through the four holes to the other end of a printing
roller. Fig. 8, a manndril or axle of a printing roller. F, F, two necks to
work in steps. S. S, two shoulders, to work against the steps to prevent
motion or end play. E, E, two spaces, to which weight may be applied.
B, a square shoulder. C, a square on which the pinions or small wheels is
placed. O, O, two screws, the one to force the pinion or small wheel against
the shoulder C on one side, and the other to forco the printing roller against
it on the other. X, a square, to prevent the roller turning on the manndril
or axle, and is to fix the square hole of the round plate, Fig. Four, upon.
Fig. 9, a printing roller. A, the round plate, Fig. Five, with the square hole
in it. 2, the round plate, Fig. Four, with the round hole in it, on this end of

page_text: said roller. B is the round plate, Fig. Seven, on the other end of it, through
which it is fixed upon the maundril or axle, Fig. Eight, and screw'd up against
the shoulder B by a nut at O on said maundril or axle. Fig. 10 is a
printing roller complete on its maundril or axle. F, F, two necks, to
work in steps. S, S, two shoulders, to prevent end play or motion. E, E,
two spaces, to which weight may be applied. B, the square shoulder. P, a
pinion or small wheel, and is on the square of the maundril or axle; see
Fig. Eight. 0, 0, two screws, on which 2, 2, are two nuts, one forces the
pinion or small wheel against the shoulder B on one side, and the other the
printing roller against it on the other, which now covers the square X on
the maundril, Fig. Eight. 3, the iron plate, Fig. Five, with a square shoulder.
4, the iron plate, Fig. Four, with a round hole. 5, the round plate,
Fig. Seven, with a round hole in it, which is here fixed on the other end
of said roller. Fig. 11, a large wheel C, which has ninety-six teeth or cogs.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, are marked spaces on it, and the eight holes are to
screw it upon a cylinder where it is to work. This is eight times as large as
the pinions or small wheels which work on the maundrils or axles of the
printing rollers. Fig. 12, A is a cylinder, to which is affixed the large wheel
C, with ninety-six teeth. D, D, are the necks of its axle, and are to work in
steps. This cylinder is eight times as large as the printing rollers. The rollers
may be made of various sizes; if I have to work a larger pattern, for on the
size of the pattern depend the size of the printing rollers, they may be a
sixth or a fourth, but the small pinions or wheels and steps must bear the
same proportion in calculation to the large wheel with ninety-six teeth or
cogs, and by observing said proportions, &c., the cylinder and large wheels
may be made to any size, so as to give room to work any number of rollers,
with their pinions or small wheels upon them, to work in said large wheel and
against or upon said cylinder. Fig. 13, an iron frame for the said cylinder,
Fig. Twelve, to work in. A, A, the two ends. B, B, the steps for the necks
of cylinder A to work in. C is an iron bar that fastens the top of the ends
together at 1 and 2 by screws with square heads, and goes through the brass
steps which are fixed upon the top of said bends, and also through the ends
of said iron frame, and is made fast to them by nuts on the under part
thereof. D, D, two bars to fasten the frame together at the bottom, and are
screwed through the ends with nuts and screws at 3, 4, 5, 6. Fig. 14, A, A,
one end of the iron frame. B, the step for one neck of the cylinder, Fig. 12,
to work in. N, N, nuts and screws that fasten on the top part of said step.
b. b. b, a brass step or steps for the necks of the maundrils or axles of the
printing rollers to work in,, and are known by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. This

page_text: brass step or steps are fastened on the top of the ends of said iron frame by
nuts and screws xxxxxxxxx, and are for eight printing rollers to work
in. P, P, two square holes to admit iron bars of any length according to
the width of said frame, which are screwed at the ends and fastened by nuts
through said holes. These iron bars fasten the two ends of said frame
together, as the other end is, exactly like this. When I use rollers, the
pattern of which is cut, cast, or mado convex, I use the before-mentioned
brass step or steps, and to the spaces on the maundrils or axles of the
printing rollers weight niny be applied to forco a strong impression; but
when I work with rollers, the patterns on which are engraved or cut concave,
I use the brass step or steps. Fig. 15, a double brass step or steps.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, are for the necks of the maundrils or axles of the printing
rollers to work in, and one of which is fastened on each end at the top of the
iron frame by screws and nuts xxxxxxxxx, with which I can force tho
rollers against the cylinder as tight as I please. Fig. 16, A is a furnisher,
being a round hollow tube near the length of a printing roller, and about five
inches diameter. This is covered with cloth to render it soft or clastic, and
may be made of tin, copper, or brass. B, B, an iron rod, which works
through it in steps at both ends. Fig. 17 is a trough something longer than
the furnisher; has different compartments in the bottom. In each compart-
ment there is a valve, which is opened and shut occasionally to let out the
colour (with which this trough is filled) through holes which aro perforated
under each valve for that purpose. A, A, one side. B, the bottom, with
perforated holes. Fig. 18 is a long brush, works or traverses backward and
forward in a horizontal direction upon the furnishers, to tear or lay smooth
the colour which falls from the holes in the bottom of the trough upon the
furnisher. Fig. 19 is a roller with a pattern on it, which is engraved, cut,
or made concave. B, a trough without a bottom, the end and sides of
which clasps said roller so tight as to prevent the colour with which it is filled
from escaping. C is called a doctor, which is a thin plate of well-tempered
steel screwed into an iron frame at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, which stool
plato is forced against the side of the roller, so as to wipe and make clean the
same, by which means it makes its impressions clear and neat. By this
method all the rollers which are engraved, cut, or made with patterns con-
cave, are furnished with colour. Fig. 20 is one end of a slide, of which
there are two, one over each end of the iron frame, and slides up and
down in a wooden frame. A, B, C, D, the sliding frame. 0, 0, the
bottom rim, carries in steps eight furnishers 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
On the upper rim R, R, is fixed the troughs 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24;

page_text: through this rim also are fixed the screw pullies, through which the long
brush traverses in a horizontal direction; see Fig. 21. A, the brush; B, B,
two screw pullies with nuts 1, 2, to fasten them to the upper rim of the sliding
frame, Fig. Twenty. Fig. 22 is one of the screw pullies; 1, 2, the pullies;
3, the iron screw; four, the nut on it. Fig. 23 is another screw with a square
hole in it, in two of which is fixed a brush A; B, B, the square-holed screws;
1, 2, the nuts on them. Fig. 24, B, the screw with a square hole; 2, the
nut on it. Now these pullies with the brushes are fastened to the upper rim
of the sliding ends, and may be known in Fig. Twenty by a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b,
a, b, a, b, a, b, a, b. Fig. 25 represents one ond of the machine with the iron
frame and wooden frame; F 1, F 2, the top rail of the wooden frame; F 3,
the bottom rail, on which is placed a shell upon a shaft, on which is rolled
the article to be printed, sewed, or fastened end to end, and on the end of
said shaft is put a pulley R, over which a weight is suspended to prevent said
shaft from turning too fast. 1, a book; 2, the suspended weight by a line;
F4, F 5, the corner stoops or posts of said frame; A, A, one end of the iron
frame, which has the top of the end with the brass steps on it off at 1 and 2,
on purpose to shew the cylinder B, B, B, with the large wheel C, C, C, with
the small pinions or wheels on their maundrils or axles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
on which are the printing rollers. One end of the furnishers are 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16, see Fig. Sixteen, and are placed against the printing rollers on
rods working in steps on the under rim O, O. 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24,
are one end of the troughs, see Fig. Seventeen, with perforated valves in the
bottom of each, and fastened by their ends to the upper rim of the sliding
franio R, R. b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, are one end. of the long brushes which
traverses backward and forward by means of the screwed pullies; see Fig.
Twenty-one. a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, are one end of the fixed brushes in the
screws with square holes, see Fig. Twenty-three, and are fastened through the
upper rim R, R, of the sliding frame, as the whole end by itself is seen in
Fig. Twenty of the sliding frame, with furnishers, troughs, and brushes. Now,
this frame slides up and down between the uprights or posts K, K, and when
down rests on four studs (two of which are M, M). This drawing up and
down of said sliding frame is done by means of a shaft which goes across the
machine, on one end of which is fixed a ratch wheel on one of the uprights or
posts near the top at Y, to which is a handle and a catch, being let fall into
said ratch wheel. The frame is suspended at any height by lines which run
over pullies at 1, 2, on the top of wooden frame, and said lines are fastened
at each end to the sliding frame A, B, C, D, and winds round the shaft.
This being lone at both sides of the machine, those ends slide up and down

page_text: parallel with each other. Fig. 26. A, the cylinder; C, the large wheel with
ninety-six teeth or cogs; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, the pinions or small wheels,
cach having twelve teeth or cogs on their maundrils or axles, cach having
thereon a printing roller, on one of which rollers is placed a furnisher D with
a rod through it which works in steps at each end. E, E, a trough with
perforated valves in its bottom to let the colour fall upon the furnisher D.
H, H, the long brush which traverses backward and forward upon said
furnisher to tear or spread the colour. a. a, the fixed brush which assists in
smoothing the colour on said furnisher. There is a furnisher trough and two
brushes, as here described, put to each printing roller. N, an arm which
turns round on a crank at O; on the other end at P is a hook which is
.hooked into a hole in the end of the stock of the brush H, H. Fig. 27, an
arm made of wood or iron at the end. P, a hook at the other end. O is an
eye, through which is run a bolt and cotter, through which eye it turns on the
crank. There is an arm like this works to every one of the long brushes
which traverse backward and forward. A1 is a pinion which works into the
large wheel C, and is fixed on a rod or har eight or ten feet long, more or less.
On the other end of said rod or bar is a neck which works in a step at R;
near this end of the rod or bar is fixed a small bevil wheel S, which works
into another bevil wheel S of the same size, and is near the end of a bar, the
neck of which works in a step at R. On said bar is four cranks 1, 2, 3, 4 ;
these work two brushes cach, in a horizontal direction upon the furnishers, as
before described. B 1 is a small pinion of the same size as the pinion A 1,
and is fixed upon a rod or bar twelve or fourteen foot long, more or less, and
works into the large wheel C. This bar or rod works on two steps at T, T.
On one end of this bar or rod is fixed a handle F; near the other end thereof
is fixed a fly or ballance wheel W. This pinion puts the whole machine in
motion, which is assisted and regulated by said fly or ballance wheel. By this
method of calculating the exact proportion of size in the small pinions or
wheels of the printing rollers to the large wheel on the cylinder (and the
printing rollers to the cylinders), whether in eights, sixths, or fourths, more or
less, the impressions of any patterns whatever are always made exactly on the
same parts of said cylinder; therefore, if I administer the colours, as before
described, to the printing rollers and put my cylinder in motion, though it
were to turn or revolve a thousand times, more or less, the impression of all
the rollers would be made thereon so exactly upon each other that it would
only have the appearance of one impression strongly made; therefore I
can print, and do occasionally, without any backing or blanket running or
revolving with the article I am printing, and am also enabled to print on oue

page_text: side of said article and stain the other, that both sides of said articles has the
appearance of being printed. To effect which, for example, say I mean to
print one side of said article and stain the other with a pattern in three
colours, see Fig. Twenty-five, I would take from the cylinder and the largo
wheel the printing rollers with the maundrils and pinions or small wheels 1
and 5, I would then engrave, cut, cast, or make a pattern in three colours
upon the three rollers in their maundrils and pinions or small wheels 6, 7, 8,
each of those rollers having the parts they are intended to execute so engraved,
cut, cast, or made upon them, and so contrived that they hit into or correspond
with each other. that by their joint impressions they form the pattern complete.
I then take the printing rollers on their maundrels with their pinions or small
wheels 2, 3, and 4, and on those three rollers I engrave, cut, cast, or make
the said pattern in three colours upon them, and so contrived that they hit
into or correspond with each other, that by their joint impressions they form
the pattern complete. But observe, these last three rollers are engraved, cut,
cast, or made the exact reverse of the first three rollers. I then cover my
cylinder with oiled cloth, or some article prepared with gums and oil, yet
sufficiently soft to receive impressions; I then place the whole six rollers on
the maundrils or axles with their pinions or small wheels, the necks of the
maundrils in the brass steps and the marked tooth or cog of the pinions or
small wheels into the divisions or marked spaces in the large wheel on the
cylinder. The cloth or article to be printed and stained is wound or rolled on
its shell and shaft, as before described, and placed in a step at L; see Fig.
Twenty-five. This article is delivered under a plain roller to the cylinder in
the step 5. The colours being now administered, as before described, to the
printing rollers, the cylinder is put in motion; the three first rollers 6, 7, 8,
print and make their impressions on the oiled cloth or other article prepared
to receive the same, with which the cylinder is covered, which, owing to its
resisting quality to wet, the impressions stands full on said covering; this
runs with and under the article now printing, and the other three rollers
4, 3, 2, run and make their impressions or print upon said article, and by
their pressure, as the figure on said three rollers hit upon and exactly cor-
respond with the impressions of the other three rollers, cause the impressions
so made upon the covering of the said cylinder to stain with the impressions
thereon on the back or other side of said article which runs from under the
ruller 2 down into the stove room by S, S, S. This article will have the
appearance of being printed on both sides, though in reality it is only printed
on one; but when I print on both sides of the article at one and the same
time, I use two cylinders and large wheels with marked divisions or spaces,

page_text: exactly alike in size and in all respects. They work in a frame with a double
end, as may be seen by Fig. 28. R is a strong screw which stands in a slot in
the upper part a, and goes through a hole in the under part b, and is there
made fast by a nut. S, S, the two square holes through which the frame is
screwed together by iron bars, as before described. X, X, are large fixed screws
on each side the end of the iron frame; these screws draw the ends close
or apart occasionally by means of fixed nuts in the two studs F, F, which
studs are fixed on the wooden frame on which the iron frame stands. No. 1
and No. 2 are the two cylinders; the brass steps are not on the ends, so that
the pinions or small wheels may be seen working in the large wheels on the
cylinders; when the two cylinders are worked, a tooth or cog is marked in
one of them, which is placed in a marked space on the other; the ends are
drawn close by the screws X, X. Now, for example, to print an article on
both sides at one and the same time with a pattern in four colours,
I prepare four rollers with a pattern, as before mentioned, which are con-
trived to hit into and correspond with each other, that by their joint
impressions they form the pattern completo; I then prepare other four rollers,
with the said pattern contrived to hit into or correspond with each other,
that by their joint impressions they form the pattern complete, which is
engraved, cut, cast, or made the exact reverse of the other four rollers. Theso
first four rollers upon their maundrils or axles, with their pinions or small wheels,
the marked tooth or cog of each placed in the division or space of the large
wheel on the cylinder No. 2, in Fig. Twenty-eight, and the other four rollers
on which the pattern engraved, cut, cast, or made, is the exact reverse of the
first four rollers, are also put upon their mandrils or axles, with their pinions or
small wheels, the marked tooth or cog of each being placed in the marked divi-
sion or space of the largo wheel upon the cylinder No. 1; the necks of all the
eight maundrils in their steps, the article to be printed is wound or rolled upon
a shell, and fixed upon a shaft, is placed in a step at N; over the pulley on
said shaft is suspended a weight, as before described. The cud of the articlo
is put to the cylinder No. 2 under a plain roller p, with which cylinder it runs
under the printing rollers 3, 4, 5, 6, till it comes in contact with the cylinder
No. 1, with which it runs under the printing rollers 6, 5, 4, 3. On said
cylinder a furnished trough and two brushes being placed to each printing
roller, and the colour administered as before described, the cylinder being put in
motion, the article to be printed runs from under the printing roller 3 down
into the stove room by o, o, o, and is compleatly printed with the same pattern
in four colours on both sides, at one and the same time. As the friction in
the large wheels fixed to the cylinders are great, owing to such a number of

page_text: pinions or small wheels working into them, to save them I substitute small
wheels to work into the pinions or small wheels of the printing rollers, which
may be made of any size that bears proportion, such as an eighth, sixth, or a
fourth, and so on, more or less, and to suit the pattern and size of the printing
rollers. Fig. 29, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, are the pinions or small wheels of the
printing rollers; 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, are the substituted small wheels,
and are here an eighth part the size of the large wheel on the cylinder. When
those small substituted wheels are used, the marked tooth or cog of pinions or
small wheels of the printing rollers is put into a marked space or division in.
each of those small wheels so substituted. When those are used the large
wheel of the cylinder is taken off, and a common one put upon the axle of the
cylinder for the pinions that work the crank for the brushes and the fly or
ballanco wheel to work in. In this case the printing rollers are turned by
their pressure against the cylinder, and small wheels working in the pinions or
small wheels of the printing rollers regulates their hitting into and corresponding
with each other, so as to form the pattern complete. But if I print a pattern
in eight colours or shades of colour, I prepare all my rollers to bit into and
correspond with each other, so that by their joint impressions they form the
pattern complete. I fix my article to be printed rolled upon a shell and shaft,
as before described, in the step R, on the bottom rail of the wooden frame,
Fig. Twenty-five, and put the end of said article to the cylinder over the
stretcher T, from which it runs with the cylinder under all the cight rollers,
and is delivered from the cylinder and runs down into the stove room by S, S, S.
The colour having been administered to the printing rollers, as before described,
the article is printed with a pattern complete in eight colours or shades of
colours. When I print with rollers, the patterns on which are cut, cast, or
made convex, I use a fixed pinion or small wheel occasionally, of exact the
same size as Fig. One and Fig. Two, that is a pinion or wheel without slots
and screws, as in that case there is no occasion for shifting in the wheel, that
being done in the round plates Fig. Four and Fig. Five, which are fixed to
one end of each printing roller by steps made for the purpose. Rollers may
be applied to print all round the cylinder, with their pinions or small wheels
working in the large wheel thereof; but when I print upon a table or board
or any flat surface, see Fig. 30, 0, 0, 0, 0, is a flat surface, board, or table.
A, B, C, D, an iron frame, with eight steps to carry eight printing rollers,
with their maundrils or axles as before described. 1, 2, 3, 4, are the printing
rollers complete, on cach of which is placed a trough and two brushes, as
before described. These four printing rollers shew that they may be worked
in the iron frame as above mentioned. The marked tooth or cog of the

page_text: pinions or small wheels being placed in the marked space in the rack L of teeth
or cogs, which is fixed to the edge of said flat surface, board, or table, or may
bo worked without said rack of cogs or teeth on said surfaco, board, or table,
as may be seen by the four pinions or small wheels 5, 6, 7, 8, the marked tooth
or cog of each being placed into the marked spaces on the small wheels
9, 10, 11. Now this being done, the article to be printed is extended upon
the board or table 0, 0, 0, 0, and the frame with the rollers are drawn along
the same from one end to the other by the handle H, and the colours
administered to the printing rollers; and they being contrived to hit into one
another, as beforo described, the article is printed in as many colours as you
havo rollers to complete the same; another piece being extended on said
surface, board, or table, the said frame and roller being drawn back again;
said article is printed in as manner colours as you have rollers to complete the
same, or the iron framo and rollers may remain stationary; and the board or
tablo with article thereon to be printed drawn under, the effect will be the
same as the frame being drawn. I also print across the peice or article, as
may be seen by Fig. 31. M, M, a flat surface, table, or board. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,
the cloth or article printing. S, a roller laid across said article to shew by the
impressions thereof which is on said article that it prints across. The patterns
on the rollers for this purpose are cut, cast, or made to join the long way of the
roller, and as much in length of the article as the length of the roller is
drawn up by means of the two cylinders B, B, on each of which is a cog
wheel. These cylinders are turned by another wheel F, of exact the same
size and number of teeth as the wheels upon the cylinders. These wheels are
calculated, that by being turned half round, the cylinders bring up on said
board or table, and tako away through two spaces N, N, N, N, as much in
length of the article as the exact length of the printing rollers. When that
quantity of the article is drawn up, a catch falls into a marked space in the
wheel F at O, whilst the iron frame A, B, C, D, Fig. Thirty, which runs on
four brass wheels P, P, P, P, with the pinions or small wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, with
furnishers and brushes, as before described, are drawn across by one of the
handles H, the marked tooth or cog of each pinion or wheel being placed in a
marked space upon the rack I, with teeth, in Fig. Thirty-one. The colour
having been administered to the rollers as before described, the article is
printed in as many colours as I use rollers for said purpose; the catch is drawn
up, and the cylinders are again put in motion by the wheel F; and as much
more of the article is drawn upon the board or table, and taken away, as the
length of the printing rollers. The iron frame, as before said, is then drawn
back again across said article by the other handle H; and as much more of said

page_text: article is printed as the exact length of the printing rollers, in as many colours
as I use rollers for said purpose, and so on. The necks of the cylinder B, B,
work in steps in the frame on which they are placed at K, K, K, K, and the
bar of the wheel F works in a step on said frame at P; the other end of said
bar in a step at C in a stud, on which the table or board rests. Those tables
or boards are covered with cloth sufficient to make them soft enough to print
