AN INVENTION IN PRINTING.
A remarkable invention has been made by the "Victory" Printing Machine Company. It is a machine which can turn oat of hand, ready for the reader's use, no less than 4000 copies per hour of a work, containing in all twenty-four pages of printed matter, pasted and bound together, without the aid of the manipulative art of folding, stitching, and binding. The machine in question was made for an American firm, and has cost between £3000 and £4000. The operation of " feeding " is entirely dispensed with. The machine, which measures but twentyseven feet in length, regulates its own supply, and in something less than a second, a sheet of clean paper passes in at one end and comes out at the other, the pages firmly connected together in rotation, ready for the reader. The specimen before us consists of twenty-four pages, nearly as large as the Graphic, and composed partly of music and partly of letterpress.
