Object Details
- Cincinnati Time Recorder Co.
- Description (Brief)
- This cast-iron rotary press for rubber type was made by the Cincinnati Time Recorder Company in the early twentieth century. It is marked in its casting “Pat’d Oct. 11 1904." The press has a height of 8.5 inches high by 8.5 inches wide and 16 inches long.
- The Automatic Rotary Printer took short rubber-stamp type, which was fitted in metal slots arranged around the press cylinder. The type was inked with stamp-pad ink, and printed on a roll of paper. The press was made with a dual purpose—office use, and children’s play. With the young printers, at least, it was popular for half a century.
- Donated by Robert Vogel, 1983.
