improvement," is in nothing jierhaps more strong- 

 ly verified than in the advances made within the 

 last few years in the art of printing. But a snort 

 period has elapsed since the screw press was deem- 

 ed the only machine of practical utility in printing; 

 but it is now fast getting out of use. Numerous 

 substitutes have been invented, and great saving 

 of time and labor effected. But we have heard 

 of none in which these objects have been so thor- 

 oughly attained as in one lately constructed and 

 now in successful operation in this village. It is 

 the invention of an ingenious nieclianie of this 

 place, and constructed for Messrs. Holhrook & 

 Fessenden, who have spared no expense in bring- 

 iug it to a comparative state of perfection. It is 

 moved by water power, but may be carried by 

 steam, horse, or otherwise, as may be most conve- 

 nient. It requires the labor of two girls only to 

 tend it, one to lay on and the other to take off the 

 sheets. 



The construction is simple, and the machinery 

 little liable to get out of repair ; it is also compact, 

 occupying little more space than the common 

 hand press. The expense of this press, compar- 

 ed with the facility of its operations and the reduc- 

 tion of labor, is by no means extravagant, not ex- 

 ceeding four times the cost of an iron hand press, 

 while it does the work of more than two at one 

 quarter the expense, and in a superior style. 



We have always doubted the feasibility of con- 

 structing a good press in which cylintlers should 

 give the impression, and believe that platens, which 

 are used in the one under present notice, will al- 

 ways be necessary to give a clear and h.mdsome 

 impression. It is also doubted whether much 

 greater facility can be given to a platened press 

 than is possessed by the above, whicli tltrows off 

 :;'iout twelve sheets a minute, which is as rapiil as 

 the sheets can safely be apj)lied. 



Thus far we have stated what has been done 

 and is now doing every day. VVe under.stand 

 however that Messrs. H. & F. have another juess 

 now constiucling which will embrace some ii.i- 

 proveinents ; it is (xntemplated to retnove tlie 

 sheets by machinery, and thereby dispense with 

 the hibor of one baiid, in which case the exj>onse 

 of piititing will Le yet farther reduced. 



Measures, we are told, are being taken to secure 

 the exclusive right to the above invention both in 

 this country and Great Britain ; and so fullv sat- 

 isfied are the proprietors (Messrs. Helbrook iV Fes- 

 senden & E. H. Thomas) of the superiority of their 

 press, that they intend shortly to manufacture 

 them for sale, of various sizes, suitable for news- 

 papers or other work. They have our best wish- 

 es for success, as the public must necessarily be 

 benefitted by every additional facility provided for 

 the diffusion of knowledge — Brattkboro Reporter.
