This is the first proposal by Maurice for the triangular framed press.  This is a perfect way to increase the strength of the press as well as the stability.  Because of the lightweight wooden structure, it is essential that the press does not topple with the pulling of the lever.  It is very good that the lever Maurice plans to use pulls in the vertical plane, rather than the horizontal.  Pulling a lever in the horizontal plane for such a light-weight structure could cause a toppling effect.  Whereas if the lever is pulled in the vertical plane, there is less chance of the toppling of the press.
