The object ofmy said invention is to pro-- vide a register table for the use of pressmen in makin up and adjusting pa forms in printing oilices, by the use of w ich the type may be adjusted in each form and the several page forms arranged in the printing form so that the 'rinting on each page will be--in perfect alinement with that of the other pages and the lines on opposite sides of the sheet register perfectly with each other, and one color form register with other 2 color'forms so-that the' several colors will properly .register, and blendfand it consists in various improvements in the details of construction -rand. arrangement of parts,

' whereby a very efiicient' table for such purpose is rovided, all 'asfwill be hereinafter 'more in ly'described and claimed.

Referring .to the accompanying drawings which are made 9. art hereof and on which similar-reference characters indicate similar parts, Figure. lis a top or plan iew of a pressmans re 'ster table ofmy improved constructiom. ig. 2 aside elevation of the same, Fig. 3 an end elevation, and Fig. 4a detail section on the dotted lines-4 in Fig.3. s

In said drawings the portions marked A represent the frame, and C the electric lights. .The frame A consists, in the-main, of a box-like structure preferably! composed 40 of wooden sides with a bottom a and a tog frame consisting of side rails a and a en rails a and a anda central cross rail a. Between the central cross rails a and each end rail are mounted plate glass panels A which serve as the main top of the table. This box-like structure is supported on legs afl preferably ,of angle iron, which embrace the corners of the box and are bolted thereto by bolts a extending through the angles of v said legs and the side pieces of the box, thus securing the box rigidly together and mak ing the structure rigid and durable. Doors a. hinged at their bottom edges to swing downwardly are mounted in the front Of-l the box to give convenient access-to the 1nterior, for the purpose of placing and aflusting the electric lamps. Said lamps C are preferably incandescent electric bulbs=of ordinary construction mounted in sockets se cured to the bottom a of the box, electrically wired and connected with a power current supply wire in the ordinary or anyap roved form. Said lamps are controlled y an ordinary, or any approved, form of switch,

such'as the switch 8 of the push-button type shown, by which the current may be turned. 'on and ofi in the usual way. In the ends of said box are formed openings a for ven-. tilation. e L

In use, the table being fitted up and ar-' rangfzd'as shown in Figs. 1- and 2, the pressman places a proof of the printed form,'orforms over the glass top on one side or the;

other of the table, securing it on saiditop by thumb tacks which may be inserted in the rails a, a and a, and by manipulating the pages, is able to determine the adjustment 'uecgssary to secure a correct alinement and.

registry between the lines of thevarious pa es and the lines on the opposite sides of heisame sheet and also the proper" adjustent to secure the relative position of difierent color forms necessary to secure the cor-. rect blending of the colors in color printing.

The top rails of the box are preferably re- -movable,-as indicated, so that after thy are used until their surfaces'become non-efiective to hold the thumb tacks by reason of the numerous perforations therein they may be removed and others substituted, 'as will be readily understood.
