Paper-making and cutting machine by Bryan, Donkin and Co., in the International Exhibition, 1862. Side elevation of a machine '...intended to manufacture an endless sheet of paper of any width under seven feet...[The machine] is capable of making an endless sheet of paper twenty miles long in about twenty-four hours...The machinery exhibited by Messrs. Donkin not only makes the paper complete from the pulp but also gives to it the necessary water-mark, and cuts it into sheets of any desired size and form...this beautiful machine effects the whole operation of paper-making; the pulp being supplied in a liquid state at one end, it delivers it converted into sheets of paper, dried, faced, and cut, at the other. Should it be necessary to give the paper a water-mark a copper roller, covered with wire gauze, upon which a projecting wire is fixed, acts upon the paper after it leaves the travelling wire-table and before it is submitted to the action of the cast-iron rollers'. 1. sand-catcher; 2. knot-strainer; 3. endless wire table or apron; 4. iron rollers; 5. drying-rollers; 6. cutting machine.
