A Corliss engine of one hundred horse-power operates the entire machinery in all the buildings,—for the great detached lithographic building seventy-five feet away is connected by a tunnel with the main group.

This department is under the charge of one of the firm, who not only makes repeated tests of the order of the apparatus but calls out the fire-brigade from time to time on false alarms.
