BABCOCK DRUM CYLINDER PRESSES

they offer a low-cost and very efficient relief to
the crowded two-revolutions, as in a recent case
where illustrations of field flowers in eight colors
were surprisingly well-done on an old Standard.
THE DRUM IN GENERAL.
Each style of printing press has its good
points and its special uses; and there are some
things within the easy range of drum cylinders
that cannot be so perfectly produced on two-
revolutions, surprising as such a statement may
be to many. This is illustrated by a bit we find
in a recent "Progressive Printer," wherein the
writer recalls "taking a printer friend to see an
up to date job office in which a large amount
of color-work was done on very heavy card-
board. In the pressroom was a drum cylinder,
right beside a latest pattern two-revolution; and
our friend said to the manager, 'Why in the
world do you keep such a trap in this modern
office?' We were amused at seeing his look of
incredulity when told there was no other press
that would do the particular work they were
doing quite so well."  (Many are inclined to
believe that the drum cylinder is a thing of the
past This in the main is an error, and is refuted
by the steadily growing demand for presses of
this class. It cannot be denied that much work
requires a different kind of press; but there is
now, and always will be, a large amount of
good, dean, every-day printing to be done under
