Description:
Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.

“For an improvement in the construction and operation of the Printing Press, denominated "Booth's Improved Double Printing Press;" Jonas Booth, Sen., James Booth, Thomas Booth, Jeremiah Booth, and Jonas Booth, jun., New York, Sept. 1.

In this press the platen is firmly fixed, and the table, or bed, and form, are made to rise up to it, by means of levers adapted to that purpose. The form has no horizontal motion, there being a frame, carrying an inking roller, which passes in between the form and the platen, to ink the former. The sheets to be printed are carried in, and delivered by means of straps, one being carried in, and another delivered, whilst the form is inking. There is no claim, and of course the whole arrangement is intended to be patented. The mode of supplying the rollers with ink, and the structure of some other parts, are such as are well known.”
