1 As a contrast to the cut of "A Printing Press of 1498" on
page 10 of this volume, we give here an engraving of one of the
most elaborate machines of the present day. This machine,
manufactured by Messrs. R. Hoe and Co., and used in the pro-
duction of some of the daily newspapers, is capable of printing
upon an average 14,000 perfect copies per hour. It is supplied
with paper by a continuous reel, measuring 4 miles, and each
sheet when printed is not only cut to its proper size, but, when
required, is also duly folded in readiness for posting. It may be
added that after the type and paper have been placed in position
the entire operation is performed by the machine with the aid
of only one boy.
