Summary:
After centuries of use, history's oldest printing machine, the hand press, was finally superseded when Frederich Koeing sold his first power-driven press to The London Times in 1814. Koeing's invention instantly lowered printing and composing costs by 25 per cent and made possible the production of cheaper and larger publications of every kind. His contributions to the graphic arts were presses with increased multiplying capacities which soon replaced manpower with machine power. From his inventions came today's entire line of modern, high speed printing machines.
