Cylindrical press

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a cylindrical press is like a printing press in the shape of a cylinder, as opposed to the previous, and I'm assuming flat, press. The invention of the cylindrical press greatly sped up the printing process, as papers could be fed through the machine one after the other, and didn't require the press operator to reset the letters after each copy.
