ROLLER ROOM Every pattern printed requires one or more copper rollers, and our numerous lines of work,with their varied patterns, compel us to keep thousands of these rollers always in condition to beprinted. This cut shows one of the rooms devoted to the storing of these rollers, and gives an ideaof some of the requirements of a large Print Works, and of the number of copper rollersrequired to run such an establishment.
