The parchment paper prevents one print from sticking to the 

 other. By using these appliances, after a little practice, 150 to 200 

 prints per hour can be weighed and printed. So long as the box 

 is the correct size epch print will be exactly the correct weight. 



When the boxes are iirst bought they are generally made a 

 little on the large side, and when it is hrst used the print should be 

 weighed and if found over weight a shaving can be taken oft" the 

 bottom of the print, or, if that would be too much, it can be rubbed

down with sandpaper until the exact weight is given. After a time 

 tin- wc-ight will be light, as the bottom ot" the box wears away, and 

 this can be remedied by taking, say, a quarter of an inch off all 

 round and putting four slips of wood on, fastening them witli brass 

 screws The slips should be ;: of an inch in thickness, and the 

 Correct size got by planing or sand-papering down as in the first 

 case. The cost of a well-made print of this kind varies from about 

 5s. for a plain one, to 2os. or 3os., according to the design that is 

 engraved upon it.
