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.
