great Improvement was the produc-
tion of machine in which the lin
otypes" were produced instantly and
ready for use on the press by the
mere lingering of keys like those of
a typewriter The keys serve to as
semble temporarily a line of mat
rices made Of brass. bearing individ-
ual characters or dies. Roman
character in the upper or regular po-
sition, and the black letter in the
lower or auxiliary position. against
which the slugs or 'linotypes" were
cast in type metal.
The Linotype is a single machine.
operated by one man, producing at q
single operation the finished pro-
duct directly in response to the op-
Grafton of the keyboard. II COM
poses matter more readily and more
economically than can be done In
any other manner. II does away
with worn and battered type. and al
ways gives a new. clean dress. Mat
ter may be kept standing Indefinite
ly, at the mere cost of Linotype
metal. Duplicate slugs in any guam
tity may be cast automatically.
II was decided to follow the devel-
opment and Improvement OF the in
vention as far as possible. and the
machine today shows what has been
accomplished In this direction The
action of the machine was carefully
watched for months the require
ments of the printing Office studied.
and the advice of skilled printers
sought in all directions. In the
light OF the information thus gained
the machine was modified, improved,
increased in capacity and versatility,
and made adjustable or convertible
to meet every demand. New ad-
ditions to the company's factory
were built from time to time, until
today the factory covers a space
equal to a city block, the buildings
five, seven, eight stories In height.
The Linotype is known today all
over the world. there being over
1900 in daily operation which
have been built by the Mergenthaler
Linoype Company. Outside of the
newspaper offices 1t is used extern
sively in book and job-ofiices where
the highest class of composition is
required.
The Linotype produces finished
matter of the highest quality. and
permits the face or style OF type,
body and measure to be changed at
will. The operator can read and
correct his matter as he proceeds
before a line is cast.
The Linotype is guaranteed to be
capable of setting 5000 ems of solid
nonpareil per hour and this output
Is widely obtained every day In
commercial Offices by nrst-class
operators In the larger faces and
in bookwork the output would be
somewhat less. which is also true OF
hand composition. The two most
recent records on a Linotype were
made by Mr.. Nichols Of the Salt
Lake Herald. and Fred'k Koelle, Jr.
of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr..
Nichols set 1O6, 300 ems of correct
ed nonpariel in seven hours and SO
minutes, making an average OF
13.2S7 ems per hour for eight hours.
Mr.. Koelle. on May II, 1907, set
155. 800 ems OF agate in IL hours.
