Duncan’s machine

A description of letter-press printing machines invented by Mr. George Duncan, an engineer, of Loverpool, who claims to be the inventor of two-colour printing machines, and believes that, by his machines, printing in two colors without removing the sheet is as easy of accomplishment as printing in one colour only, and at a very material savings of cost.

An engraving of the latter is here given:—
