And before these Observations were publish’d to the World, _Tycho_, to gratify _Blaew_, gave him the Copies of them, with which he came away to _Amsterdam_, and betook himself to the making of _Globes_, according to those Observations. But as his Trade increased, he found it necessary to deal in _Geographical Maps_ and _Books_ also, and grew so curious in _Engraving_, that many of his best _Globes_ and _Maps_ were _Engraved_ by his own Hands; and by his conversation in _Printing_ of Books at other _Printing-houses_, got such insight in this Art, that he set up a _Printing-house_ of his own. And now finding inconveniencies in the obsolete Invention of the _Press_, He contrived a remedy to every inconvenience, and fabricated nine of these New-fashioned _Presses_, set them all on a row in his _Printing-house_, and call’d each _Press_ by the name of one of the _Muses_. This short History of this excellent Man is, I confess forraign to my Title; But I hope my Reader will excuse the digression, considering it tends only to the commemoration of a Person that hath deserved well of Posterity, and whose worth without this small Monument, might else perhaps have slid into Oblivion. The _Press_ is a Machine consisting of many Members; it is delineated in Plate 4. _a a_ The _Feet_. _b b_ The _Cheeks_. _c_ The _Cap_. _d_ The _Winter_. _e_ The _Head_. _f_ The _Till_. _g g_ The _Hose_. In the Cross-Iron of which, encompassing the _Spindle_, is the _Garter_. _h h h h_ The _Hooks_ on the _Hose_ the _Plattin_ hangs on. _i k l m n_ The _Spindle_. _i_ Part of the _Worm_ below the _Head_, whose upper part lies in the _Nut_ in the _Head_. _k l_ The _Eye_ of the _Spindle_. _m_ The _Shank_ of the _Spindle_. _n_ The Toe of the Spindle. _o o o o_ The _Plattin_ tyed on the _Hooks_ of the _Hose_. _p_ The _Bar_. _q_ The _Handle_ of the _Bar_. _r r_ The _Hind-Posts_. _s s_ The _Hind-Rails_. _t t_ The _Wedges_ of the _Till_. _u u_ The _Mortesses_ of the _Cheeks_, in which the _Tennants_ of the _Head_ plays. _x x x x y y_ The _Carriage_. _x x x x_ The outer _Frame_ of the _Carriage_. _y y_ The _Wooden-Ribs_ on which the _Iron-Ribs_ are fastned. _z_ The _Stay_ of the _Carriage_, or the _Stay_. 1. The _Coffin_. 2. The _Gutter_. 3. The _Planck_. 4. The _Gallows_. 5. The _Tinpans_. 6. The _Frisket_. 7. The _Points_. 8. The _Point-Screws_. All these several Members, by their Matter, Form and Position, do particularly contribute such an assistance to the whole Machine, that it becomes an Engine managable and proper for its intended purpose.
