Description (Brief)
This patent model demonstrates an invention for a rocking swing for children or invalids, unrelated to printing; the invention was granted patent number 139924.
This model may have entered the Graphic Arts Collection because of confusion over the word "exercising," which is also used for the softening of inking leather.
