Thefc patent rollers are caji in iron moulds, previoujly heated, and will be found to be more dense, solid and durable than any rollers heretofore used. Another important advantage they, have over others, is, that the necks require no turning, but are immedaitely fit for use, and from their accuracy, run with less friftion, and require less water to make them perform their work.
