An Illustrated Jo al of Mining, Popular § ra nee and Progressi ve Industry. BY DEWEY & CoO., Patont Solicitors. SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1873, VOLUME XXXVI. Number 6, The Chicago Taylor Printing Press Company. The accompanyiug cut is a very good representation of the new and very snperior steam printiug machine we have reoeutly put in operation in onr printing estahlishment, aud upon which all our issues will hereafter be printed. The improved appearance of our paper already accomplished speaks very plainly iu favor of the superiority of this machine over all others now built in this country, and when it is hetter understood hy those who operate it, and gets down to its hearings aud work, this improvement will be more and more marked until we cau give our teaders a sheet which in mechanical execution is the peer of the hest similar publication atthe Fast. 7 As this is the first introductiou here of this class of presses, made especially for extra fine engraving work, and onr readers areto examine its work weekly, we take the privilege of indulging in a long talk concerning the machine and its bnilders. Every printer will he entirely interested in it, and the general reading public, we helieve, benefitted by the facts we propose to set forth. The heavy cost attending the purchase and starting such 4 machine as this is an important matter, and the absolnte necessity having arisen of our procnring a machine of our own on which to print our own papors, made it necessary for ns to examine into the meritsof the vations manufactures of printing presses at the East. After canvassing the matter very thoroughly, and consulting parties whose opinions in this particular is good evidence, and seeing other machines from the Chicago Taylor Printiug Press Co., running in this city, we were forced to the conclusion that in all points of excellence this machine was not only the great favorite all over the Northwest and in the Territories, but indeed the best printiug machine now built in this country. In Octoher last, the President of the Company, S. P. Rounds, Esq.; of Chicago, visited this city and learning that we were on the point of putting np a new press voluuteored to take the risk of sending a machine here—putting it up in our office, and guaranteeing it to operate to onr entire satisfaction or no sale—and considering the heavy expense of the machine, the freight on it overland, and cost of putting it in operation, the heavy risk assumed hy him at least proved his confidence in the press; and we are much pleased to addthat he has not only fulfilled his contract to the letter, but that the machine operates even better than the guarantee, and that we are in every particular pleased with our choice and the purchase. History of Press Buitding. The history of the commencement and progress of the manufacture of tho printing prees in this country is a very interesting one, and had we the time and space to spare, would he pieased to give it in full, but as we bavo not, we will give oniy ahrief{synopsis. The first effort In this line was the '‘Ramago” two-puii band prees, which wag the only prese in use up to ahout tho year 1820, when tho Stanhope press, inyented hy the Kari Stanbopo, in England, was introduced into thia country. This was soon foiiowed by tho “Ruthven,” which had eome improvements. In 1823 tho first iron one-pull ExrLaNATions.—The pile of sheets to he printed will he Been on top of the press. They are fed down singiy so as to be cauyht by the row ef nippers shown across the upper anf front portion of the large drnm eylinder, the reyolution of which carries the papers down to the flat ‘pe forms which latter pass horizontally back and forth on the bed ot the press. The cylinder is adjusted so asio press the sheets snfiviently hard against the face of the lypesto take the impression of every letter, The forms are carried at each revulution 80 a3 to pass under the first set of Inking rollers, seen just at the right of the drum cylinder. 6 ink is taken from the fountain at lhoextreme right of the engrav ing, and distrihuted evenly hy the system of rollers arTanged diagonally to each other, hy the passage back and forth of a distrihnting plate. The sheets are delivered on the table at the left by the tapes and the fingers of the fly,‘ represented hetween the cylinder andthe delivery table; 1,000 to1,500 sheets per bour are printed on onr press press made by Wells, of Hartford, Conn.,was brought out, At about the sanie time ihe Smith” press, and shortly afler tho “Wasbiugton" press was brought ont hy R. Hoe & Co., of New York, and which preas made both by Hoe and Taylor ie thastaudard band press of to-day, Up to 1820, no successful attempt bad beon made in perfecting a power prese. 1n 18240 Mr. Treadwell iuvented one, bnt it was imperfect, Aftera trip to Europe, aud many expcrimente, the press was tuade to operate very well but was a crude affuir. Sometime in 1824-6, the firsi “vyiinder” or “Napier” press was imported from Engiand for the joint use of the New York Daiiy American and the New York Daily Advertiser, the first an evening, and tho latter a morning paper. Shortly after this Mcasra. R. Hoe & Co., conimenced the manufacture of cylinder presses in this country, which they bavo continued, father and sons to the present day—heing jointiy with A. B, Tayior, Esq., of New York, tho '‘fathers of the cylinder press in this country.’ We sbouid bave said that shout this time the iater justly celebrated CHICAGO Adams’ Book prese was invented by Isaac Adams of Bosfon, At first it had a wooden frame and was a cumbrous and rather uncouth affair, very unlike the handsome and finely bu!lt machine of lo-day. At tho time Meesrs. R. Hoe & Go. hegan huiiding the eyiinder press, A. R. Taylor, Esq., of New York, was their foreman, aud really constructed the first cylinder press ever made in this country. Ho continued in their empioy for a term of years, when he started a manufactory for himself, and invented and added to the prees then huilt hy Hoe, many improvements, among them the celebrated air spriags—a very desirahle featuro which has from that day to the present made the press a very popular one—so that the '‘Tayior”’ press is as well known to printers as its cotemporary, the ''Hoe’‘and is in uso in aimost every large office from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, very many of them having been in uso from thc early days of our own city to the present, in many of our city offices, For somo twelve years previous to 1867, Mr. Taylor's eldest son, George W. Tayior, who bad received a tbor. ough education in the best schools in this country and . Europe, and a thorough mechanical one in his father’s ehops, nndin them had acted as Superintendent aud Draughtsman; failing in health from the raw sea winds, . he conceived tho idea of establishing a new manufactory of the Taylor press in Ohicago. Accordingly in that year he moved thither and associated himself with S. P. Rounds, who had for twenty years transacted a general Prirter’e Furnishing Bueinees in that city, and was well and widely known by the printing fraternity of the great North West. . George W. Taylor, was douhtless the moet thoroughly . accomplished Printing Press machinist and inventor . this country ever saw. Young, ambitious, keenly alive to the necessity of keeping pace with the times in all tho very first, and at onco tooka leading rank in tha press building interest. The wachines built by tho new firm gave the moet spiendid sutisfaction from the first, and in the short space of fivezyears they bave huilt huudreds of them, which from the best information we can gather, are every ouc giving the most hearty satisfactiou, aud running in the hest offices in the Northwest, portions of tho South and East, Colorado, Utab, Nevada, Oregon, and in our own city and State. In 1869, jnst as the repntation and success of the now onterprise was triumphantly established, and his name and fame “written in lettersof etce]l” in alnost every office in the great West, Mr, Taylor dicd, hut not untii he bad left weil-educated successors to carry out his ideasand impr ts. The busi: at this period was put into » company called the ‘‘The Chicago Taylor Press Company,” With the remaining psrtner asits President and head, TAYLOR COMBINATION PRESS. and to whose great experience as 4 practical printer and, pressman, desler in printere’ material and manufacturer of the presecs, is the compauy indebted for its constant and unvarying success. A new and very large brick manufactory was erected—an entirely new and elegant and very extensive and expensive seriee of machinery put in operation, and the popularity and excellence of their machine ie evidenced hy the fact, that they have never as yet been able to keep up squaro witb its orders, thoagh often running douhie sctsof hsnds, night ond day, and we bad to wait nearly three months hefore we could get our prees huiit, However, we are agsured by the President that hy recent additions of men and machinery he bopes soon to be abie to keep one press of each size and style on hand with which to meet urgent ordors. Tho company is now huilding e guides and “grasshoppors,” and is built very simply, etrongly and perfectiy. Having tho ciosest register of any press now huilt, the most thorongh ink distrihution, and three and four inking roliers, with right and left vi hrators on tbe top of these and eight roiiers on the table, This machino is peculiarly adaptod to ail kiud of piain and colored ietter press work, IIlustrated Newspaper, And the very finest description of book work. It is so strongly huiit—having the celehrated ‘air springs’— and witbai so very simple it can be run ata high rate of speed. Of this kind of press there are now three sizes bnilt, The one we have in use is tho largest, hed 34x53 inches hetween hearers,and costing boxed and deiiverod on the cars at manufactory at Chicago, all eomplete, with counting machine attached, $3,610, Next comes the three roller '‘Doubie Medium,” hed 25x38 inches between hearers, the handiest and best combined hook and joh press made, as it will print any and everything, from a common bill head to a hook form Three Different Styles of Presses And different sizes of each style. First, there ia the socalled “Country” Drum Cylinder—a machine combining all the real exceliencies of the more costly press, hut not huilt so heavy or with as fine a finish, and made to run ata elower speod—say 1,000 to 1,500 per hour, hy steam, and 800 to 1,000 hand—and afforded at a figure to meet the necessities of the ‘“cvuuntry" publisher, who cannot afford and does not require a faster press. No, 1, is 32x46 inches hetween bearers and is afforded at $1,474, hoxed and delivered on cars, and No, 2, 32x50 of press is in general uso in al] the woil-to-do offices in . the Northwest and in Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, . and in Napa, Sania Barhara and other places in this) State. Noxt comee the '‘Comhination,” their New and Latest Sty‘e, And in cost between their “Country” and “Regular.” This is tho machine represented both in our office and improvemonte—listening to the suggestions of tical pressmeu—and knowing {uli well tho vital necessity of making an article which should comhine all the excellencice, improvements, 3nd conveniences possible to attain, he at once made an entire new set of drawings and pat-. terns—retaining all the excellencies of the old machine, and adding nnmerous new ones—aided by new and improved machinery, and aiso by the fayorahle acquaintance and practical business experience of his partner, the new firm met with tho moet flattering success from in the ying engraving. This press comhines all the hest features of the two other styles-has the combined rack and screw and tahle distribution — msking it sahsolutely perfect, doing away with the intermediate wheel and universal joint—those prolific sourees of wear, lost motion and imperfect register, taking the power direct from the cylinder wheel to the rack helow—thus ensuring ahsoiuteiy perfect regieter. It has the new “well” fountain, the new and positive ‘gripper’ motion, patent feed ‘ of 16 pages; price, on cars, $2,370. Third and last, the three roller ‘Super Royal,” same style, hed 21x33 and price $2,030. Then follows the ‘‘Regular” fast first-class drum cylinder, This press is buiit very beavy and stroug and finishedin the higheet styie. It isintended more particulariy for very heavy and fast work, such as raifroad and fine colored printing. Ite distribution, register, and general pointe, ate the same as fin the press we have in use, hut the frame is made extremeiy heavy, four very heavy croes stays and otherwise buiit in proportion. Of this styie the company is at present huiiding four eizes: Medium, 23x28; Super Royal, 25x33; Double Medium, 29x43; and Double Super Royai, 34x53; the prices ranging ahout one-third higher than for the “Comhination."* The company also buiids Douhie Cyiinders, of ali sizes of the well-known ''Taylor,”Wasbingion hand presses, proof presser, paper cutters, etc., and are prepared to make drawings and patterns for any deeired size of either of their drum oylinders, This company heing emphatically the Western Pioneers in the manufacture of printing presses—and having, hy dint of western pluck, hard work, and conscientious dealing already secured a splendid reputation and standing—aud having so fully and honorahly fulfilled its contract with us, our sympathies are entirely in its favor, aud we will take pride and pleasure in showing any purchaser or publisher on the Pacific Coast our beautifnl mnachine in operation. The company havo a just claim on the patronage of all western printers, and as long as it deserves, shonld have it. Itis perhaps due to our enterprising and well known fellow citizen, Geo. L. Faulkner, Esq., of the California Type foundry, 405 and 407 Sansome St., tostate thatour attention was first called to this machine hy him—and that he is taking an active part in introducing it on the Coast, as agent, and inconnection with his extensive Printers’ Furnishing and Type Foundry Business, and he will take pleasure in answering all inquiries in regard thereto—sending the company’s elegant book, the ‘‘Pressmans’ “’ Guide and ‘‘Press Catalogue” to all applicants, or showing the different kinds of tho presses now in operation in this city. Messrs. H. 8. Crocker & Co., Messrs. Carr, Dunn & Newhoff, and Messrs. Winterbnru & Co, alroady have them in use, and other parties are ahout putting themin. Mr. F. has also re. inches, at $1,705, steam fixtures $70 extra. This style . cently sent them to Portland and Salem, Oregon, Carson City, Nevada, Napa and Santa Barharea in our own State, and already has and will keep hoth sizee of the ‘‘Country drum cylinder” on exhibition in his foundry. We also understand that Messrs. Painter & Co,, the old and reliahle type founders are also acting as agents for these machines, and are also prepared to fill all orders promptly. Finally, whon itis oonsidered that freights are ahout the same from Chicago overland on these machines, as by the Isthmus route from New York, and a great deal of time is saved, and that in case of hreakage hy accident or ‘otherwise (allthe parts heing made interchangable and kept on hand at the manufactory) the expense ard delay is comparatively trifling—we think every member of our craft has cause to feel pleased at the advent of the ‘Chicago Taylor Printing Press,‘’
