class 10 history

Answer 1

Johann Gutenberg was a German goldsmith and inventor, credited with the inventing of the movable type printing in Europe.
Gutenberg was the son of a Merchant, and his childhood was spent on a large agricultural estate. From his childhood, he had seen wine and olive presses. By and by he learnt the art of polishing stones and became a master goldsmith and also acquired the expertise to create lead moulds used for making trinkets. Using this knowledge, Gutenberg adapted the existing technology to design his innovation. The olive press became the base model for the printing press and moulds were used for casting the metal types for the letters of the alphabet. By 1448, Gutenberg perfected the system.In 1445, Gutenberg published his 42-lines Bible, commonly known as Gutenberg's Bible.About 180 copies were printed most on paper and some on vellum.

Explanation:

• A wine press is a device which is used to get juice from crushed grapes and an olive press is a device to extract oil from olives.
• Both the devices helped Gutenberg with a model to develop a printing press.
• Both these presses were based on the screw press.
• This screw press allowed direct pressure on the flat-plane.
• From here, Gutenberg developed the idea of pressing paper onto the movable letter blocks to get the image of these letters on the paper.
