The blanks are cut from a rod, preferably copper, by a series of saws spaced the required distance apart. The blank A, Fig. 2, which is a little smaller in diameter than the required matrix, is placed in a die D, and compressed between a plunger F and a die G so as to condense and harden the metal, form a square end for driving in the character depression, and, when necessary, form a conical recess F<1> in the other end. The matrix is ejected by the plunger F, and is placed in a die E, Fig. 3, in which it is supported by a plunger F while the character depression is driven in its end by a die H having the character projection accurately justified or positioned thereon. Fig. 4 shows another, and preferred means for making the matrix. The blank is compressed in the die D by the plunger F, against a cover plate J which is mounted to slide. The plate J is then withdrawn, and, in its movement, burnishes the upper end of the blank and the character depression is driven into this burnished end by the justified die H. The conical depressions in the end may be accurately finished by boring. Fig. 6 shows a finished " monotype " matrix in section.
