He was also the first to manufacturepresses in which the impression cylinders are of small size and maketwo or more revolutions to each sheet printed, and he devised thetoggles for bringing the cylinders down to print on the form andfor raising them to let the form run back without touching. The news of these later inventions reached New York in duetime, and in 1832 Robert Hoe, who had been some time established 17 SINGLE SMALL CYLINDER PRESS in the manufacture of printing presses, sent a young man.
