THE RELIANCE JOB-GALLEY PROOF PRESS
Heretofore it has been necessary to purchase the larger sizes of the ordinary long galley presses, or hand presses, in order to
furnish proving facility for the common forms of a job office. Not only does this new press answer the purpose better, but saves
much expense and room. First-class proofs can be drawn on it quickly and
handily. When it is desired to take proofs without a galley, a piece of pressboard
or cardboard, the thickness of the galley, should be laid on the bed. The bed is
cross-ribbed underneath, and is very strong and rigid. It is made in this manner
to avoid springing, and to make it self-supporting, so that it need not necessarily
be set on an absolutely level and solid table. Correct principles are em-
ployed in the construction of the press, an important one of which is that
the roller travels the bearers and type with the same circumference. Also,
as the circumference of the roller is greater than the tracks or printing
surfaces, injury to type and defective proofs from the seam of the blanket
are avoided. The roller is covered with a good quality of felt blanket, and
has polished steel handles.

WESEL AUTOMATIC PROOF PRESSES
These proof presses are especially adapted for all kinds of book, magazine, commer-
cial, newspaper and mailing work where speed and quality are essentials. The paper
is fed to the galley or form automatically from a roll. The roll or web of paper is slipped
on to a rod situated just above the impression cylinder, and is fed to the cylinder by two
wooden rollers, the largest of which is brass covered. When the proof is being taken
these rollers press up against the paper on the cylinder and give the proper tension to the
paper, and also keep it snug against the under side of the cylinder. After the impression
is taken, a trip underneath the cylinder forces a knife into an upright position upon a
stationary head of the bed, the paper being caught between the two, whence it can be
torn off. As the cylinder is run back the knife tips backward and the paper is caught by
a row of steel fingers and held in that position until the end of the movement. The
margins at the top and bottom of the galleys are always of the same size. The output
from one of these machines is from 25 to 30 proofs per minute.
The Wesel Patent Self-Inking, Self-Feeding Proof Presses are made in six sizes, four
sizes being furnished with either single or double web. Each web is actuated independ-
ently, one web only being used when only one galley is to be proven. Where two galleys
are taken at the same time, the top and bottom margins on both galleys will be alike, even
if the matter on one galley be only a stickfull and the matter on the other be a galleyfull.
The partition in the center of the bed is removable, and a single wide web may be substi-
Ptoati Pesf , handSopein       tuted for the double web in a few seconds.
Proo Pres, and peraionAny of these machines can be supplied complete with electric drive and the larger
size presses, such as the 25 and 28-inch machines, are especially recommended for
electric drive. The motor, together with the worm gear, is substantially mounted on
cross rods at the base of the machine, and the worm gear is belted with a set of
sprocket wheels and chains placed immediately underneath the bed of the machine,
which drives the cylinder and inking apparatus back and forth. Machine is started
by means of a lever, and is automatically reversed and brought to a stop at the finishA
of one complete revolution. Prices quoted are for motors of 230 volts direct current.
Where 500 volts direct current or alternating current is desired, a special quotation
will have to be obtained.
