at the left, takes up the swork or the
Operator swings around and does it.
With tool called a "grab" the
operator takes enough of the long row
of letters to make line long enough to
approximately fit into the newspaper
column, drawing it quickly forward
and sliding it into brass pan famil-
iarly known to printers as "gal-
ley. - This pan is of the exact width
OF newspaper column and the spa
GERS work is to make the line of type
fit easily into the galley. If trifie
too long the last word in the line is
divided, hyphen inserted, thicker
spaces substituted between the words
for the regulation size spaces which
the operators key has inserted.
When the line just fits the galley a
key is pressed and plunger springs
up in front of the galley, pushes the
line gently back to leave room for
the next line which has already been
grabbed and is being drawn along
the typeway to take its place in the
galley precisely as before. The gal
ley will hold about third of col
umn. The plunger not only serves
the purpose of human fingers in push
ing the line back in the galley but
at the same time places a lead' in
front of the line if 'leaded'' matter
is being set. If "solid" matter is
being set simple adjustment retains
the lead in the plunger when it pushes
the line back. This is all very won
derful, but the distributor is more SO.
The machine not only sets type but
distributes it automatically at the
same time. The upper part of the
cylinder, having channels exactly like
the lower part, revolves ON top of the
lower cylinder. -. y "A
A galley Of dead type containing the
articles that have appeared in the pa
per is placed in a receptacle opposite
the revolving cylinder. A plunger
thrusts the type, line bys line, into
channel which is not alreaafy full, at
the same time extracting the lead and
dropping it into a receptacle below.
AS the cylinder moves around over the
stationery section the letters. are drop
ped down one by one into their, own
channels ready for the operators use.
Although the channels of the, upper
cylinder are filled indiscriminately no
letter will leave channel until it is
directly over it's own channel in the
lower cylinder. This is accomplished
by having each letter and character
nicked in slightly different manner,
and the lower channels are fitted with
projections or wards to correspond.
The principle is the same as adopted
in fitting the Yale locks and keys.
Thus the letter ''a' will remain in
it's place in the revolving cylinder,
passing by every other channel until
it reaches the ''a'' channel when it
drops instantly into its place on top of
the other "a's". The upper cylinder
halts fraction of second at, every
channel of the lower cylinder and ex-
actly over it, thus giving the letter
time to drop into it's place.

The above is a picture of the new
Simplex type setter that has been add
ed to the equipment of The Press
Office. The three papers issued from
this Office the last three days of the
week necessitates the setting of a large
amount of type in short time. This
labor saving device is one of the best
ON the market and sets two faces of
type, and can be used for book work
as we'll as newspaper work. 1t will
take little while to become familiar
with the machine, but in a short
time it will greatly aid in expediting
the work of the Office, especially in a
time of rush. A good operator can
set and distribute three or four times
as much as a hand compOsitOr. By
the use of two people the output is
nearly doubled.
The machine stands about six feet
high, and it's diameter is not over
two feet. It is connected with an
overhead pulley and shaft for it must
have motion to complete the work of
the person who presides at the key
board and plays upon the key as the
operator manipulates the now familiar
typewriter.
The cylinder is slit at intervals
with perpendicular channels less than
a quarter of an inch wide and extend
ing from the bottom to the top of the
lower half of the cylinder. These
channels contain the supply of type,
each piece in one position on it's side,
one on top of another, the letter ends
showing on the outer circumference
of the cylinder. There are 80 of these
channels-one for every small letter
and every capital letter and every
figure, fraction and punctuation mark.
At the bottom of the cylinder is q
polished steel plate revolving around
the outside of the cylinder at $50 rev.
olutions minute. You hardly notice
that it is in motion until the operator
begins to play on the keyboard, then
you see and understand its purpose.

type is stationary. The instant the
operator strikes key a plunger in
side the cylinder elects the bottom let
ter in the channel, controlled by it's
own particular key, and the letter
shoots out upon the revolving disc
and is whisked around until it reaches
chute into which it is switched, to
be carried by belt into the typeway
directly in front of the keyboard.
The letter goes upon the disc fiat upon
it's side, but when it reaches the type
way it is standing on end, the charac-
ters being uppermost, where it can be
read by the operator. AS the keyboard
is rapidly worked the letters are dart
ing out of their respective channels
and taking their place on the revolv-
ing disc. They move so swiftly that
you can only see the CLINT of their
polished surface as they whirl around
to take their places in the long line
of letters which is passing in front of
the operator. Here the operator s

Letter to MI. G.. Moore.
Stafford SDri2e0s. Conn.

Dear Sir: Most mixed paints are either
adulterated or short measure. Devoe
Lead and Zinc is neither, so 1t cannot be
classed with mixed paints. That's why
1t takes fewer gallons of Devoe to paint q
house than 1t does of a mixed paint, and
1t lasts longer for the same reason.
Ferguson & Thompson's store, Delhi,
N. Y, was painted some years ago with
thirty-two gallons Of mixed paint.
Painted 1t last spring with Devoe Lead
and Zinc-thirteen gallons did the work.
Devoe Lead and Zinc Is here or will be
here very shortly. Spread the good news.
