These Frames differ from the ordinary construction in that the springs are
fastened to the back instead of the usual cross bars, and the necessary tension —
to produce good contact—is applied by a new clamping device, of simple con
struction, which eliminates the cross bars and is rapidly and easily operated.

VACUUM FRAMES
No. 257B. Patented Aug. 7, 1906.
Our Vacuum Frames are made of thoroughly seasoned hardwood, with
steel mountings, and the corners are reinforced with rectangular steel plates.
They include a specially constructed air-proof rubber cushion with pad,
exhaust valve and hose, by means of which the air is entirely exhausted be
tween the cushion and glass, insuring good contact.
They are particularly well adapted for Vandyke Negative and Positive
printing, also for printing off large tracings, which are very liable to wrinkle in
ordinary spring frames, resulting in blurred prints. With our Vacuum Frames
this defect is eliminated, as perfect contact of paper and tracing with glass is
secured, and, as the atmospheric pressure is the same on both sides of the glass,
it obviates the danger of breakage, which frequently occurs with ordinary
spring or air cushion frames.

CYLINDRICAL ELECTRIC BLUE PRINT MACHINES
With Patent Roller Curtain.
These Electric Blue Printing Machines were designed to meet the growing
demand for well constructed and thoroughly efficient apparatus for repro
ducing drawings and tracings at any time during the day or night, inde
pendent of weather conditions.
No. 267C—Type "W." No. 267E.—Type "X."
In the construction of these machines we have attained both practicability
and simplicity, and by referring to illustrations and description, their supe
riority to machines of other make can readily be determined.

ELECTRIC BLUE PRINT MACHINES Continued
TYPE "W."
Description: It is of the cylindrical type, consisting of two sections of
curved plate glass forming a cylinder, with an arc lamp arranged to descend
axially through the cylinder, thereby giving equal light radiation on the interior
surface of the cylinder, and hence a uniform exposure of the blue print paper.
The Roller Curtain device (patented) by which the tracings and sen
sitized paper are held in place, is by far the most efficient, convenient and
accessible means ever devised for the purpose. The Roller stands perfectly
still except when pushed along by hands or knee, thus leaving both hands of
the operator free to adjust the tracings and paper. This device is particularly
convenient for making a number of small prints; the illustration showing a
partly filled cylinder. The roller curtain holds the tracings and paper so secure
ly against the glass that at any time the rollers can be partly rolled back,
permitting an examination of the prints without in any way disturbing the
position of the tracings with respect to the prints, on the same principle as the
old sun frames. This provision is only necessary, however, when using tracings
of mixed transparency—old and soiled tracings requiring longer exposures
than new ones.
The Hydraulic Speed Regulator secures an absolutely uniform speed at all
times. It also provides a wide range of speed regulation, so that the machine
may be adjusted to meet all possible requirements. By means of a valve
regulator, the speed can be varied either before or after turning on the current.
The machine is noiseless in operation.
The Arc Lamp furnished with the machine is of a special pattern and the
best adapted for the purpose. It gives the highest actinic effect and a strong,
uniform and steady light.
The machine is entirely self-contained, the mechanism not being dependent
upon side walls or ceiling fixtures of any kind. On account of this feature, it
can be placed in any part of a room desired. It occupies a floor space only
three feet square.
This machine is designed on the only correct principles of light radiation
and it excels in that it will print small or large prints with equal facility and
perfection.
These machines are furnished all complete so that when set up, connection
with the feed wire is only required.

To meet a large demand machines have been designed with one curved
plate glass, which print but one sheet 42 x 60 or 42 x 72 inches or equivalent
area at each exposure, and which sell at correspondingly lower prices. The
controlling mechanism of this type is exactly the same as that used on the
machines described above.
