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. Only the patent drawing is available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"The Printing Press, upon which the present improvements are made, is one of the progressive lever kind, and is well known among printers. Upon the former patent, several improvements are claimed, but they are generally for matters of detail, the principle of the press remaining unchanged. A regulating screw is inserted near the curvature of the handle, to check it, and prevent its going too far back. The connecting rod attached to the bar, is also modified, and there are some new contrivances for lessening the friction, and regulating the pressure; the whole of these are claimed. In the description there is much verbiage, and, as is usual in such cases, but little clearness."
