lily invention relates to hydraulic presses,
particularly for use in the breaking down of
coal or other minerals, in breaking up con
crete blocks such as engine beds, and for
other similar purposes. This class of hy

boring or the like. ‘Vithin said body part

restricted. It is also necessary, in order to

In carrying my invention into effect I
form the body part a of the press somewhat
in the usual manner, that is, it has a series
of cylinders 7) extending on one side of said
body part (as shown by the drawings) or if
desired it may have one series extending in
one direction and another series extending
in the opposite direction, this alternative
