ABSTRACT
The stationer is now enabled by the use of the Paper Cutting Machine to almost dispense with the Gutting Press. The power of the press being limited, and only adapted to lettering pieces or small designs. In describing the various manipulations in binding a book, it has frequently been necessary to refer to the presses, machines, and tools requisite for their proper execution. When it is wished to withdraw the books, the small cock at the end of the tube at the foot of the press is turned, the water flows into the cistern below, and the bed with the books glides gently down in front of the workman. Arming presses are manufactured of various sizes, and according to the taste of different makers, varying in design. The cheek fits in the groove on the cutting press. A Mr. Penny, whose attention had long been drawn to these facts, succeeded in producing a machine possessing many novelties and improvements.
