Each silk screen is mounted on the support so as to be rotatable from a first position transverse the support axis to a second position in parallel alignment with the support axis and in alignment with a platen horizontally disposed on the base in parallel alignment with the screen support. The platen has a surface for supporting a uniform member to be silk screen numbered and the support, with the silk screens mounted thereon and the platen are axially movable relative to each other.
