I n the use of the machine, the main offset oyllnder E is used when a large subject is 30 te be reproduced or only a simple adjust ment is required. The drive mechanism, for the cylinder is set in operation and when the cylinder reaches a suitable point over the primary support B, the lever K is operated to lower the cylinder intol contact with the primary printlng surface C. When the cylinder has rolled over the subject it again raised by operating the lever K. The cylinder can then be adjusted circumferentlally relative to its propelling wheels f3, if this is necessary to place the print in a particular location on the print-receiving Surface C. yThe drive mechanism is again n started and the cylinder lowered into and raised out of Contact with the rintreceiving surface at the proper points by means of the lever K, as aboveexp a'ined.V
censtmion ple could he When it is desired to reproduce a smally subject, or to make duplica e prints thereof osltions on the print-receiving surface, the supplemental yoil'set cylinder O is used. and if the adjustment requires it, the 'primary printing surface C is secured on the adjustable holder L. 5 After the supplemental cylinder has been operated in the same manner. as the mam cylinderto take the impression from the primary printing surface, 1t can be adjusted either .circmnferential'ly or axially, or bpth, as required to place the print in vthe required position on the printrece1v1ng surface. By appro 'alte adjustments ofthe supplemental set cylinder, or of the holder L, or
both, successive impressions from the pri .Cylinders over faces in predetermined mary printing surface .un be placed in any desired arrangement or oupinfr on the prmt-receiving surface. vFlic different described sdjustments of the parts enables a u'actualy unlimited variation of .the possible arrngwlmts or groupings of the prints on the prmreceiving surface.
While the preferred construction of the several parte of the machine has been described in detail; the invention is not limit ed to tbedeecribed construction of thas parts nor to Athe particular means recited for producing the described adjustments or movements .of the supports. the mais and pplemental oset cylinders, the taie'or.
