It is in this last mechanical process that the cutting machines go into action. It is these machines that trim the edges to smoothness ·and at the .same time cut the section folds. . The Seybold automatic cutting machine which is found in the bindery is of the forty-four inch size, and was acquired only reantly when it was found that pressure in getting oqt our publications required greater speed. The acquisition of the Seybold gave the Lloyd Hollister Inc., two cutting machines, the other being a forty-.four inch Oswego Automatic. The new Seybold has a knife stroke speed of forty cuts a minute. Accuracy, ease, and safety also are big features of this machine. T·he paper is automatically clamped and cut and performs by power every mechanical detail of the work. There is an indicator which shows the clamp pressure at all times. The clamp pressure is developed independently from the knife action. The knife action · is a double shear movement. The . knife enters the paper pile at the left side first. It passes downward through the pile with a side as well as a dip shear and makes a clean, smooth cut. These machines were furnished Hollister Inc., by the Charles N. Stevens company of Chicago, who are the western agents for the Seybold company whose factory ia in Dayton. 0. INC.

Before moving into the new building there were only two presses, but the. increase in circulation, advertising and job work made it necessary to increase the number of presses, which accounts for four being operated at the present time. The two J.liehles, one a big sixty-five inch and the other a 56 inch which ..arrived" with the opening of the new Hollister building were furnished by the Printers' Machinery Corporation. Both of the presses have extension deliveries and one is equipped with a Dexter Suction Pile feeder. The big Miehles turn out more than 1,500 papers an hour. The big point with Hollister Inc., is that the Miehle presses have won recognition for their durability, production and accurate work. They are considered the best equipment that can be installed in a publishing plant and are particularly fitted for the bigh grade work which is requirod in magazine work.
