The motiveforce was two steam-engines of40-horse power each, and the water was deliveredthrough a i-inch pipe into the cylinder below theram. That shown at D, plate opposite page 1150, isadapted for pressing the printed sheets of hooks, is arranged with either one or two pumps for for-cing water into the lifting-cylinder, whose jiistonraises the platform on which the sheets are is kejit in horizontal position by upright stand-ards, and between it and the head of the jiress thesheets are compressed.
