THOMSON COLT'S ARMORY CRANK-ACTION
CUTTING AND CREASING PRESS
REGULARLY BUILT IN Two SIZEs: 20x30 INCH AND 28x41 INCH

The Thomson Colt's Armory Crank-Action Cutting and Creasing Press, for producing cut and
scored blanks for paper boxes and containers, cutting out cartons, etc., is a massive double
geared machine with an underweighted flywheel on each side, transmitting the impressional
stress in a most direct
manner. The platen
makes a direct, square
and theoretically per-
fect impact upon the
form, sliding to the bed
free and unrestrained,
about three-fourths of
an inch, with perfect
parallelism, insuring
the longest possible en-
durance of the cutting
rules, plates and make-
ready. The bridge and
platen are designed to
insure the utmost pos-
sible rigidity, and the
press as a whole is a
combination of power,
strength, speed and fa-
cility. The illustration

massiveness and strain                       AND CREASING PRESS
bearing qualities.
Thomson Colt's Armory Crank-Action Cutting and Creasing Presses have been in use in many
of the largest paper box factories in the world for considerably more than a quarter of a cen-
tury. Many of the very oldest machines are still in operation and are making money for their
owners. The more recent machines, however, possess several important improvements made to
keep them strictly up to date in every respect and also to meet present-day conditions and
to anticipate the future demands of scoring and cutting.
Light embossing may occasionally be advantageously done on the 20x30 inch size.
Thomson Colt's Armory Cutting and Creasing Presses are regularly built in two sizes, 20x30
inches and 28x41 inches.
Send for an illustrated circular describing the Thomson Colt's Armory Crank-Action Cutting
and Creasing Press, and ask for quotations. When making inquiry state whether the press is to
be operated from a line shaft or is to be equipped with a direct connected motor. If an electric
motor is to be used, give all necessary details regarding current, voltage, etc.
