"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."
