Extraordinary Printing Press—
The London Times is now printed on a press, which, in consequence of improvements made by the original inventor, throws off four thousand impressions in an hour. The following is the language of the Times:
“The first machine printed but eleven hundred sheets in the hour: the reader now holds in his hand an impression which a new machine has yielded at the rate of four thousand an hour! Such ease, rapidity, and accuracy united, could hardly ever before be ascribed to any fabric constructed by the hand of man, neither is it now possible, we conceive, for the printing machine to receive any further improvement, or to arrive at a more complete degree of perfection. But let the reader contemplate, if he can, what must be the rapidity of those motions which throw off four thousand printed sheets in every hour, or nearly seventy in a minute!”
