About this work
This patent model demonstrates an invention for an automatic sheet feeder for hand presses which was granted patent number 12634. It was assumed that the platen would be fitted with tympan blankets, and the press supplied with an inking machine. The model, on a Washington-style press frame, is missing the feed apparatus itself as well as the inking rollers and press toggles.
