The INVENTION OF TYPE CoMpos.
ING MAcHlNE.-A communication from
Vienna contains the following:
" An important invention has been
made here, which has already proved per-
fectIy practical, and whose results will
have lncalculable effects on the periodical
press especially. Il is the invention of
d,srorghlyssaccessfnl type composing ma
chine, IN the form of piano, having the
external structure Of this kind of instrI-
ment, and set oil l2l touches in two
rows-one of 81, and the other of Co.
the former of which being broad, and the
latter narrow. 1t is well known that no
compositor, however agile and praciised, is
able TO compose more than 1900 letters
IN an hour; while that composing piano,
even if played upon by tardy and unprac-
tised ten fingers, performs the composition
of 800 types in a minute, and $1,000 in
an hour. The machine, therefore, is evi-
IDENTIFY intended for the substituting of one
finger for two hands, or for the multiple
cauonof by 10; and it consequently
operates ten times more quickly than the
most agile compositor at his case. Be-
sides, the set of touches may BE prolong-
ed according as is desired; or the single
composing machine may be made double
or threefold, and so forth; and consequent
ly, by means of setting in several type
channels, at single application of the
ten fingers, 20. 30, nay so, and more let
tiers, can be composed simultaneously, and
therefore whole sentences be finished in
great numbers and cotemporaril>, which,
of course, is of great importance in cases
of vast editions of newspapers, periodi-
Gals, and works generally that have a
large circulation. The machine was COM
pleted by the inventor al the royal impe-
rial printing Office of the court and state
of this city, in the presence and the un-
firing cooperation of the distinguished
superintendent of this imperial institute
after several experiments had been made,
In the course of about year.
The application and usefulness Of the
machine have been tested with the utmos
scrutiny, and it has been triumDhant.-
Entirely different from one or two of lis
predecessors, which did not succeed OF
come to light, it is from appearance sIen
der and light as if it had sprung from
nothng-a sleam-eng!ne OF the press
which, according TO the opinion of one o.
the most competent Judges, will never be
surpassed in the simplicity Of the princi-
pie of its construction. And now the
great typographical problem Of this de-
cennium may be considered solved. The
distinguished Hungarian mcchanician, Pc
ter Won Klieged, Of Presburgh, to our
knowledge, engaged first in the solution
of this problem. His example was soon
followed by Young and Delcambre in
England and France,and Menkh of Ham
burgh, took up the subject last. But al
of them abandoned their Undertaking, af
ter their attempts had proved fruitIess fol-
practice at least.
"The invention will henceforth occupy
place among the most influential Of th
distinguished century And the name o
me inventor? tits e. l. Ischuil, youn!
man of twenty-six years of age, native
of Bohemia, who, until last fall, had beer
employed as manager in the estate of tht
chief master of the chase, (Oberesijdeg
ermeiSter) Count Won Hoyos Sprinzenstein
" lschulIke had, in 1910, when he wa
already employed in the project of hi:
machine, a considerable sum advanced b,
his employer for the purpose of executin!
his design; and long furlough had, likewis,
been granted him several times.
Ischuhk is at present occupied wit
the construction of an indispensable com
panion OF his machine-a distributing, O
sorting and filling machine"
