Ems in Eight Hours.
NJ. NJ. Baker, a linotype operator in
tine Office of the Post-Intelligencer at
Seattle, Wash, has made a new worlds
record for eight hours machine COM
position, setting in that time s5,S72 ems
of solid ronpareil.
The feat was performed during ordi-
nary working hours, in composition on
a book now under publication in. the
Office, from manuscript copy and with
no preliminary preparations. Baker,
who is an extraordinarily rapid oper-
ator, simply made the announcement
that he would break the record and
asked that man be detailed to time him
and others to measure his string. He
started at the usual hour of compost
ton, took an hour for lunch and made
the record above in eight hours actual
work. The lowest for any single hour
was 1O,o5O ems, the drop being due to
technical terms.
Baker learned to operate machines in
Seattle.
