ADDRESSING-MACHINE - An apparatus used for affixing the
addresses on a large number of missives, such as newspapers, upon which the
same series of names must be inscribed as the day of issue recurs. There are two
general forms of this machine. In one the addresses are separately printed on slips
of gummed paper, which are fed from the apparatus, which cuts off each address
in turn, and allows the latter to remain attached to the wrapper. The other mode
is to set up the type of each address in a form, and so to arrange the forms that
they are successively presented at a spot to which the enveloped papers are
consecutively fed. A large number of these machines have been patented.
