different matrices, the special dlstInc tlons
being necessary to insure the automatic
distribution of the matrices to the maya
zine tubes after they have been used.
A side view of one of the matrices is
also shown at A, in the sectional figure,
where it forms part Of line as held up
In casting.
To receive the matrices, as they are de-
1ivered one at time below the magazine,
and conduct them to the point at which
they are assembled or composed to form
lines, a horizontal guide or channel is
provided, with rails on which the shoul-
ders of the matrices are supported, the
matrices fitting loosely IN such channel,
and being main tanned therein in substan-
TALLY upright position. The matrices
are advanced through this guide or chan
mel to the point Of assembiage by means
of 3 blast Of air directed IOngitudinally
through the channel, from the 1OwsrmOst
of the two tubes seen to be connected
with the machine at the right of the oper-
ator, the other tube being connected with
the casting mechanism, to assist In cool
ing the mold. By this means the de-
livery Of each matrix is effected so
promptly that its motion can hardly be
seen, the click OF the matrix coming to its
place in tbs line being formed seeming to

find some practical means by which to
sUpersede or cut short the tedious work Of
typesetting. 1t is known as the Linotype
machine, from the nature OF Its product.
1t is not, strictly speaking, a typeset-
ting machine, but forms type bars, each
Of the length, width and heighth of line
OF type, and the exact counterpart of that
which cOmpOsitor would set up, except
that each line is formed of one entire
piece of metal, instead of as many differ
ent pieces as there are characters, spaces,
etc. The key board in front of which the
operator sits has 107 keys, each marked
for capital or lower case character of
font of type, or the figures, points,
or compound letters used in con-
nectiOn Herewith, many of the
letters most frequently used hav-
ing several keys. The operative parts
are carried by a rigid metal frame, ali
portions Of which are stationary. The
"cOpy" is placed upon acOnYenient holder
just above the keyboard, and above and
behind the copyholder is q series OF YER
teal tubes, one TO correspond with each
key, forming the magazine in which the
matrices representing type are held. The
keys are p1VOted IN supporting frame
carried by bar attached to the magazine

drops by gravity as the key is depressed,

from the magazine tube 20 take the place
Of the one discharged, and bearing upon
the upper edge of the key. The slotted
osci1lating key thus serves as an escape
ment, receiving the matrices one at time
from the tube, and delivering them
through the corresponding openings be-
meath, the delivery being instantaneous
as the operator touches each key.
The matrices, of which one is shown
herewith, each consist of a thin plate Of

No cause is known for the attack and
in that section it is entirely unPrece-
