Then a large brown Kata sheet is spread out on awooden slab, and a sheet of the moistened paper is laid over it,and then another Kata, and another sheet of the wet paper tillthey lie ten and more, closing with a sheet of Kata. In thisarrangement of layers, the single sheets must lie even withthe separating sheets, and thus have their edges parallel, orinclined to those of the larger Katas.

The cylinder is then diagonally and fixedly woundaround with a strip of hemp canvas, about 30 cm. wide, and 2 or 3meters long. In doing this the workman generally uses his feet. Hethen places the cylinder on the press, fixing one end on c, and put-ting the other through the hole of the lever. He presses the leverat d with all his might, by jerks, from six to ten times down on theroll, which is by this means considerably compressed in the directionof its axis.
