Chapter 218 (1/2)

Ingo decided to take in metal to improve the printing press, so I ask Benno to bring Johann and Zack together next time.

“… Is it really good, Ingo?”

“I don’t know what kind of metal to use for me who only handle wood. It’s best to ask a guy who specializes in it.”

It seemed natural for me to call Johann and Zach, but it was impossible, Benno said.

Originally, it seems that the blacksmith workshop is not involved from the design stage to the items requested by the wood workshop. Since it is the woodworking workshop that receives the request, it seems to take the form of being designed in the woodworking workshop and then asking the blacksmithing workshop for the necessary parts.

Ingo said that if I was satisfied with the client, I decided to do something unprecedented in designing after discussions with other industries.

“… Isn’t it normal to exchange opinions between different industries?”

“I have ordered hinges and nails from the blacksmith workshop when making furniture and doors, but I don’t talk to other workshops in the design stage, let alone other industries.”

Ingo said, to clarify who received the request and where it would benefit. Probably, I think that the system for deciding to be assigned is made for similar reasons.

“Do you know the craftsman of the aristocratic temple head …”

Why can’t I understand beyond the sighing ingo that it can’t be helped? There is Benno who is fond of me.

…… I don’t know if I’m not a genuine aristocrat. sorry.

My father is a soldier, and my mother and Turi are only employed in the workshop, so I am not familiar with the circumstances of the craftsmen who carry the workshop. Perhaps it is because I was crazy about creating books and was not interested in the mechanism of the world at all.

“Now I’m thinking about various improvements as much as possible.”

“Oh, I asked”

After Ingo returns, I will write down the improvements while remembering about the printer as much as possible. I can’t design, so I just need words and diagrams, but I think it should be a trigger for something.

A few days later, Johann and Zack, who were called up, came looking around. Johan is purely anxious about what he can do next time, and Zack has a curious face like “ Isn’t there anything interesting in the director’s office? ” Looking around the room.

“… That’s why I wanted to use metal to improve the printing press and called them together. Please cooperate.”

When explaining the circumstances and asking for cooperation, Zach engraved his nose head unsatisfactory, unlike Johan, who immediately responded “I understand”.

“Even though it is said to be a cooperation, the printing press is a request to the woodworking workshop. It is not a request to our studio, so there should be no profit here.”

“I’m going to pay money, of course?”

Zac shook his head, not when I tilted his head.

“It’s not just about money. It’s said that helping the rest of the job doesn’t improve the blacksmith’s reputation.”

Helping other people with work does not lead to evaluation. So, Johan is poorly evaluated even if he has only technology. This is because there are not many customers who come to the request, and they only help others. Helping Johan, who is good at fine work, raises the reputation of the craftsman who received the request, and the reputation of the workshop. But that doesn’t improve Johann’s personal appreciation.

“If I ordered a metal part from the blacksmith workshop, wouldn’t it lead to the evaluation of Johann or Zach? I asked, but?”

Ordering printing presses from Ingo’s workshop, ordering metal parts from Zac and Johann’s workshops.

Then I thought it would not be much different from a normal request, but is I wrong?

“… Johan is overwhelmingly fine for fine work”

Zack asked, taking an example of a roller for making a raw paper in the corner of the workshop. The machine designed by Zach and made by Johan was easier to use than the machine made by Zach.

I know that Zack bites his back teeth in a regrettable manner that he designed, but he couldn’t make it. It was an irritation born by understanding Johan’s technical capabilities.

“Parts work is decided to go to Johann. It doesn’t lead to my evaluation”

No matter how much you think, Zach asks that the results will be taken by Johann.

In the past, Johann showed his design to Johann, saying that he couldn’t do it, but he found that Zach was very wary of Johann’s technology.

It is difficult for each other to watch out for each other and not to exchange ideas and ideas freely. I’m looking forward to Zack’s imaginative power that will shape ambiguous explanations and hopes.

“I’m really looking forward to Zac’s imagination. Can we get a blacksmith’s reputation in the form of purchasing a blueprint?”

Johan is more sure to make the parts, but the idea and design is overwhelmingly better for Zack. When I wanted to buy Zack’s idea, Zach rounded his eyes as if he was told something unexpected.

“Did you buy a blueprint? Isn’t it an article?”

Listening to Zack, who was so surprised and plainly used, I again felt a culture shock. The act of buying a blueprint seems unusual here.

“Yeah, the blueprint is what Zach thought about? Isn’t the blueprint worth enough because I want to make it? I want to buy a Zack blueprint. If you think that the product is a blueprint, will it lead to Zac’s evaluation? ”

“Oh, uh, does that mean I ordered a blueprint and told you to buy it? … Rose Mine doesn’t say something that surprises me sometimes”

Zack said, blinking his eyes. I didn’t know why I was surprised, and Johan sighed lightly while watching me leaning.

“It’s not always when Rosemine says something that surprises me. It’s always”

I just sharpened my lips to Johann, who told me that today was just as good as not praying suddenly.

It seems that the blueprints were not sold because the blueprints were made through discussions with customers, and they became goods. If you want the same product as the one you made before, you will get a new customer with the customer’s introduction, so it seems that you won’t have to circulate the blueprint.

“I never thought of selling blueprints, but if asked and if the blueprint is a product, don’t lead to my evaluation”

By submitting a design document request to Zach through Benno, Zack was convinced and cooperated in the design of the printing press.

“So how does Rosemine want to improve?”

“Current presses are all made of wood, but we want to make some of them metal to improve strength and printing accuracy.”

I took out the written illustration and spread it out as long as I remember.

“First of all, I want the printing machine to move like this. I want to put the typesetting, and then fix the paper here by folding this plate and then moving it under the compression plate.” But … “

Referring to the figure, I explained how it moves with gestures. Zach listens to him as he slams, and Johan has a difficult face.

“At the very least, I want to attach metal and make it slippery”

“Ah, then …”

Johan said, “I can do it” as if he was relieved, but Zack gave off his gray eyes in a challenging manner.

“… minimum? Best?”

“I hope this table can be moved by turning the handle, do you understand?”

Zack squints into the pantomime that moves around with the handle.

“Move the base with the handle …”

“There was also a way to move the table by applying the spooling method. Is this helpful?”

“Fun, spools … I see”

I see, so I wonder if something came up. As expected, the idea is Zac. Suitable for the title of Gutenberg.

Waiting for Zack’s thoughts to come together, Ingo crossed his arms and looked at me with blue eyes.

“Shrine head, what else is there?”

“Others?”

“Yes. Leave it as feasible and tell me what improvements I want you to make and what you want me to make”

Ingo simply says “as long as I can come up with it”, but I don’t think I can understand it.

“As long as I can think of it, can I say it? Maybe it won’t happen”

“I can, I can’t. I can do it with a bit of a word like the current Zack. There may be something else that can be used.

Zack screams in Ingo’s words and looks at me with the eyes of expectations. Regardless of whether you can expect it or not, let’s shake it steadily.

“I understand. Then I want you to consider using” Spring “”

“Spring?”

“Isn’t it handled in the blacksmith workshop because it’s made of metal? Although it’s like this,”

When I drew a diagram and described how to use it, Johann slammed his hands

“Oh, spring? … where do you use it on the press?”

“I don’t know”

“Yes !?”

No, I don’t know what I don’t know when I see it with my eyes. I’ve read the history of printer improvements, but I didn’t have detailed blueprints, and I don’t remember them in detail.

“I only know that it is used to help the vertical movement of the pressure plate to apply pressure. How can it be incorporated into a printing press to be made in the future? It’s up to you, the craftsman, that it will come in handy if you use it well, but it’s not something you must use. “

Even though it has been improved, it only describes what I remember, so there should be a lot of smaller improvements and a lot of ideas I don’t know.

If I can make a new printing press that incorporates what I said, the history of the printing press will move about 100 to 200 years at a stretch. I don’t think it should be.

“Ah, but because it will be improved anyway, one more thing”
