THE KLYMAX: THE BEST AUTOMATIC FEEDER
FOR CHANDLER & PRICE PRESSES
OWNED AND MANUFACTURED BY THE AMERICAN TYPE FOUNDERS COMPANY
Made for 8x12, lOx15 and 12x18 inch Chandler & Price Presses (including C. & P. Craftsman
Press, 12x18 inch), the Klymax Automatic Feeder has the greatest range of utility among platen
press feeding machines, yet requires no extra attachments, not even for envelopes. It is equally
effective on all sizes of C. & P. Presses. The Klymax is sold as a unit with press, or separately.

The Klymax feeds the entire range of commercial work, including all weights and makes of
paper from medium weight folio to heaviest (12-ply) cardboard. It also feeds equally well,with-
out extra attachments, envelopes (all sizes),blotters, tags, flat bags, and unusual jobs of irregular
shapes-ovals, box cartons, folded sheets, etc.
Maximum sheet taken is as large as inside dimensions of the regular chases of each size of
press. Minimum size taken on all sizes of presses is 2x4 inches. The speed of the Klymax Feeder
is equal to that of the press to which it is attached, giving the maximum in production.
The Klymax Feeder is exceedingly simple and easy to adjust and operate. It has no gears,
cogs or tapes and has comparatively few working parts, 95 per cent of which are in plain view.
The register is hairline, so that color work is fed accurately. The guides are automatic,
greatly facilitating make-ready, as no pins or quads are used. The automatic feed guides are
so arranged that they may be lifted without changing the position or register of the sheet
while the tympan sheets are replaced from time to time on excessively long runs.
An automatic trip throws off the impression and stops feeding when the feed pile has run
out or a defective sheet fails to arrive on the platen. The automatic trip does not stop the
press, but it does notify the operator by signal. It also trips and stops feeding if a sheet fails
to be taken off the platen, making it impossible for a number of sheets to collect on the platen,
thus preventing smashed forms and other damage.
