Scarcely any print works are without several 5 and 6-color printing machines, and theprinters of goods intended for hangings, which are generally of elaborate floral designs, em-ploy machines capable of printing from 10 to 20 colors at once. These machines are neces-sarily of very large dimensions. Fig. 117 is an end view of a 20-color machine, made by. Messrs. Gadd and Hill, of Manchester, for Mr. Kay, of Castleton Print Works, and is em-ployed in printing very beautiful floral patterns on woollen fabrics, in imitation of thoseproduced by hand labor in France. The system of turning cylinder machines, patented by Mr. Joseph Leese, possessesseveral advantages. In this plan a small high-pressure oscillating engine is attacheddirectly to the axis of the large cylinder, thereby dispensing with the heavy gearing andshafting required when machines are turned by a large stationary engine ; the machine print-er also has perfect command over the speed of the machine, and can fit the pattern, whenit is turning very slowly, with more convenience than on the usual system. On this systemalso machines can be put down in any portion of the works, and are independent of the sta-tionary engine. In surface printing, the
