Type-Setting by Steam.

| NJ. ID. Conway writes from London to
the Cincinnati Commercial: One inven-
ton, however, did interest me it was a
steam type composing machine. A Mr.
Mackie of Warrington has patented this
affair, and it is now used in several print
ing Offices, among others that of The
Graphic, in London The invention con-
sists OF two machines. One of these is a
small one which has key board, like a
piano. of II keys The operator sets be-
fore him tie copy which is to be put in
type, and manipulates the keys, where
upon there is evolved from beneath an in
terminable strip of paper, two inches wide,
which is full of punctures. Each one Of
these puncturcs corresponds with a letter
of the copy. The whole manuscript hav-
ing thus been copied in puuctures the,
roll ofpunctured paper is set in machine
that looks like an iron centre-table. The
top of the centre table has all around on
its edge little boxes containing type. The
top of the table then rcvolves. The
punctured paper runs around, and when
a certain type needed is reached, a little
lever falls (by reason of the opening al,
lowed one end of it by the hole n the pa
per-. the other end touching and select
ing the letter that is needed. The type
so selected falls into place, and the row
ofse!ected type pours in continuous stream
out upon regular composers stick,
which, as fast as it is filed, is removed to
the form. This may all seem complex in
the description, but it seems wonderfully
smooth and simple when seen. a man
engaged at the perforator, and three boys
at the composer to feed the boxes with
type and space out the lines, set up a
newspaper column large as one of Tile
Times in one hour, which Mr.. Mackie
maintains is equal to the composition of
eight men. 1t economies 50 per cent
of outlay. The inventor has been 10
years on it, and has now certainly gained
a success. When our commercial houses
have Babbidge's calculators instead Of
clerks, and our news paper Offices have
revolving centre tables instead of compost
tors why should not Mr. Carlyle's dream
of an iron automatic Prime Minister be
realized ? The Republicans of England
will do the handsome thing by any Yam
kee who will invent an automaton Queen
that can sign her name and not have
large family. TO return to Mr.. Mackie
for moment, [ add that his machine
costs $500, and the inventor advertses
that heis prepared to undertake typesetting
for one year in any house that purchases,
at three pence per thousand (whatever
the size-type), set in Is inch lines =
Mackie is proprietor of The Harrington
Guardian, the largest paper in England,
equal to ll2 columns of The Times, and
it certainly is set up very neatly, set up
by his machine, all varieties being used
small plea, minion, and non pareil.
