The roil of paper is at the end of the press and is controlled in momentum by theusual hand brake. From it the web is drawn by tension in the usual manner through theprinting cylinders, and is then cut into transverse sections, containing 8 pages on eachside, or Kion the two sides. These sections are gathered by a collecting cylinder in pairs,one above the other; then receive a transverse fold between the two pages, and are sent alter-nately to two delivery cylinders, where they are slit longitudinally and delivered on twosets of traveling belts, in signatures of 8 pages each. Tlie maciiine lias thus a capacity of 8signatures, or 04 pages, at each revolution, or 24,000 signatures per hour, cut and folded,ready for tlie binder. ihe Novel Press.—Similar in its ])rinciple of construction to the Cmturij press, the. Fh;. 2.—The Hoc Century jirees. Novel press does very difleient work. As its name indicates, it was built expressly forprinting novels, and was specially designed to produce in perfected form a great number ofpages of these books at each revolution of its cylinders. The plate cylinders are of the size to contain each 72 electrotype plates, each platerepresenting a page of the novel. These jtlates are of tiic thickness and made tofit the curve of thecylinder. The web of paper is drawn into the machine, and receives itsimpression on both sides. As it approaches the delivery, it meets a cutting-blade whichseparates the web lengthwise into strips the width of two pages. The strips of paper aretaken up by the collecting cylinder until 6 sheets have been gathered. They are thenreleased and cut by rotary
