It was thought that the limit of printing capacity in one machine had been reached in this new invention, but in 1889 the same firm undertook the task of constructing a machine for Mr. Bennett of the “New York Herald,” which would even eclipse the “Quadruple” machine, which had, together with the “Double Supplement” press, superseded almost all others in the large offices of the United States, as well as in Great Britain and Australia. The press made for the “New York Herald” and known as the “Sextuple” machine, occupied about eighteen months in construction. It is composed of about sixteen thousand pieces. The general arrangement differs entirely from that of the “Quadruple” machine. The form and impression cylinders are all placed parallel, instead of any being at right angles as in the “Quadruple” and “Double Supplement” Presses. To give an idea of this machine, we cannot do better than to quote the description of it in the “New York Herald” of May 10th, 1891. “The new Hoe press which is being set up in the ‘Herald,’ Building is nothing less than a miracle of mechanism. To say that it is the only one of the kind ever built and that it throws all previous inventions into the background are facts which the following figures abundantly prove. “Its consumption of white paper is so astounding that even the imagination grows tired and sits down to catch its breath. It is fed from three rolls, each being more than five feet wide. When it settles down to show its best work it will use up in one hour nearly twenty-six miles of this paper, or to make the matter more significant, it will use up about fifty-two miles of paper the ordinary width of the ‘Herald’ every sixty minutes. “Our readers will be startled to learn that it can print and fold ninety thousand four-page ‘Heralds’ in an hour. This is, to the mind, which is not versed in the problem of rapid printing, a feat which makes Aladdin’s lamp an old woman’s fable. Ninety thousand per hour means fifteen hundred copies per minute, or twenty-five copies for every second of time ticked by the clock in Trinity’s steeple. “It is, of course, the last and best result of modern invention--the highest attainment of genius at the present time. “This new press will print, cut, paste, fold, count and deliver 72,000 eight-page ‘Heralds’ in one hour, which is equivalent to 1,200 a minute and 20 a second. “It will print, cut, paste, fold, count and deliver complete 48,000 ten or twelve-page ‘Heralds’ in one hour, which is equivalent to 800 a minute and a fraction over 13 a second. “It will print, cut, paste, fold, count and deliver complete 36,000 sixteen-page ‘Heralds’ an hour, which is at the rate of 600 a minute or 10 a second. “It will print, cut, paste, fold, count and deliver complete 24,000 fourteen, twenty or twenty-four page ‘Heralds’ an hour, which is at the rate of 400 a minute, or very nearly seven a second.
