A Type-CastiDg Machine, invented a
abor, lime ago, by Mr.. David Bruce, of
Now York. has been brought to a high
state Of perfection and practical utility by
Mr.. o. r. Van Benthuysen. of Albany
The Albany Atlas thus describes it:
This machine, or rather The wheel by
which il is propelled, may be worked by
hand but any number of them may be
worked by steam. several of them requir
ing only vigilant overseer or superin-
tendent and two or three children. Thus,
four machines, which are small and COM
pact, placed at convenient distances, in
line, may be keptin full operation by one
person and three children. The extent of
the saving ofIabor, and The value of This
invention, may be judged OF by compar-
ison between lis results and the usual mode
Of casting. An expert workmen will cast
Is type per minute with the usual hand
matrix. This machine costs from 50 10 6O
per minute and one person superintend-
ing four of the machines, propelled by
steam, it will produce say 200 per minute.
1t is at least a safe estimate 10 say that
one person and three children will in this
way do the work of ten men, aud turn
out more type per minute.
One of these machines is in use by Mes
srs. Higgins & Co., Of London, who have
ordered others. 1t has also been adopted
by several founders in New York aud
other northern cities in the Union.
