Two important improvements in printing presses were patented in this country last year. One of them consists in six pressing cylinders, revolving about an axis, with an ingenious arrangement of fingers. The sheets of paper are seized by the fingers, carried around and over the bed by the cylinders, which perform the pressure, and then deliver the sheets in a rapid and beautiful manner. A press constructed in this way requires four attendants, and delivers the sheets as fast as they can be fed in by them. The other improvement is for printing the sheets on both sides before they are delivered from the press. Perfect operating models of both these inventions are in the Patent Office at Washington.
