Describes the Ruddell engraver, a machine developed at Cheney Brothers (South Manchester, Conn.) that uses a special Jacquard head to puncture a varnish film on copper print-roller shells so they can be etched for textile printing. It explains the process, shell capacity, traverse and multiplier mechanisms, engraving tools, drive, repeat tie-up changes, re-etch work, and time required. It also covers card preparation and reports a 33% time saving and 40% cost reduction over the previous method. Six photographs show the machine and its parts.
