My Life's Pilgrimage

Autor Thomas Catling
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 1911
Excerpt from My Life's Pilgrimage: Introd, by Lord Burnham Art of printing - since Fust and Gutenberg first used type to make their impressions - was the application of steam to the printing machine, and that was the triumph of a journalist. In 1814 Mr. John Walter, of the Times, announced, with justifiable flourish of trumpets, that he was working his machine by steam. Here are his words: It is done with a variety and simul taneousness of movement that not less than sheets are impressed in one hour. Though we can nowadays print far more sheets of much larger newspapers in a minute than Mr. Walter could in an hour, this was an epoch-making advance. In the days and nights upon which I am looking back a large amount, even of newspaper printing, was done by manual machinery, the motive power being supplied by two men turning a wheel. To-day in all large establishments we have engines of extraordinary horse-power, and the type itself set by machinery.
