THE AUTOMATIC CYCLOSTYLE. 



THE LATEST IMPROVEMENT IN DUPLICATING APPARATUS. 



FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS JUST MADE. 





For printing Reports, Speci- 

 fications, Price Lists, &c, it 

 is invaluable and soon repays 

 its cost. 



A FEW ADVANTAGES. 



1. — No skill required. The 

 work being done by the 

 Machine automatically, a 

 novice can at once obtain per- 

 fect copies. 



2. — Great uniformity of 

 copies. The pressure being 

 constant and regular, the 

 copies are all alike. 



3. — The process of re-ink- 

 ing is made much easier and

 Scientific Societies and 

 manifold copies of notices 



cleaner. One inking suffices 

 for 100 to 200 copies, but 2,000 

 copies may be taken from one 

 stencil. 



4. — Equally adapted for re- 

 producing written or" type- 

 written matter. 



5. — Great speed in taking 

 copies. It is only necessary 

 to turn a handle which lifts 

 and lowers the frame, and time 

 is gained by having a less 

 number of re-inkings. 



6. — The difficulties which 

 frequently arise in the working 

 of other duplicating apparatus 

 entirely dispensed with in the 

 CYCLOSTYLE.
