Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The power-driven cylindrical press was created in the middle of the nineteenth century by Richard M. Hoe of New York, not Germany. This press could produce 8,000 sheets an hour. The offset press, which could print up to six colours simultaneously, was also developed. At the beginning of the 20th century, electrically driven presses accelerated printing operations. Later, other things happened, like the improvement of plate quality, the creation of automatic paper reels, the modification of paper feeding methods, and the introduction of photoelectric controls for the colour register.
Hence the correct statement would be that Richard M Hoe was an American engineer who came up with the power-driven cylindrical press.
