  • Richard March Hoe, was an American inventor who designed an improved printing press. Hoe was born in New York City. His wife, Mary, and he lived on a vast 53-acre (210,000 m) estate, called Brightside, in the Morrisania / Hunt's Point section of the Bronx. He was the son of Robert Hoe (1784-1833), an English-born American mechanic, who with his brothers-in-law, Peter and Matthew Smith, established in New York City a manufactory of printing presses, and used steam to run his machinery. His father owned a steam-powered manufactory of printing presses, which Richard joined at fifteen. On his father's death, he became head of the Robert Hoe & Company corporation. In 1843, Richard invented the rotary printing press which placed the type on a revolving cylinder, a design much faster than the old flatbed printing press. It received U.S. Patent 5,199 in 1847, and was placed in commercial use the same year. In its early days, it was variously called the "Hoe lightning press," and "Hoe's Cylindrical-Bed Press," and was later developed into the "Hoe web perfecting press. " In 1870 he developed a rotary press that printed both sides of a page in a single operation. Richard M. Hoe was a Freemason. He died in Florence, Italy. His nephew, Robert Hoe (1839-1909), wrote a notable Short History of the Printing Press in 1902 and made further improvements in printing. The Hoe estate, Brightside, was sold in 1904 by his family to developers speculating on the subway extension into the Bronx. His mansion was located at present day Printers Park at the corner or Aldus Street and Hoe Avenue in the Bronx.
