THE LINOTYPE MACHINE.

One of the greatest machines ever
invented is that which does away with
the old method Of setting type by
hand, substituting instead a device
cision every act necessary for type
setting except thinking Ottoman
Mergenthaler, an inventor who re-
Gently died a millionaire, brought
about this revolution by inventing the
linotype" machine, which, as the
name would indicate, sets automati-
cally a Zine O. type" This machine,
which looks like a huge typewriter,
has for it's essential feature the
"matrix, while the keyboard, triggers,
rollers, pistons, elevators, sprocket
wheels, and levers work with such &C.
curacy that the line of "matrices"
is carried down to the box for the
molten metal, there is flooded by the
metal, and then each separate matrix
is carried back to it's respective little
box, waiting for the next tap on the
keyboard that willcall it into use
again. The ntatrix is mold of a par
ticular letter made of sheet brass, and
varying in thickness according to the
width of that letter. If you were to
press type into some wax or putty,
there would be the reverse of that
letter; just so with the matrix. At
the top is a V-shaped cut made up of
little steps, and at the side of the
nlatrix is the imprint of the letter to
he used. Each of the little steps in
the V plays an important part, for
they are different in each matrix, and
after the line has been moldedTthese
steps help in the automatic sorting of
the matrices back to their proper
places in the magazine The opera
tor sits before the keyboard some
thing like the typewriter girl; he
lightly taps a certain key, and there
at once drops down, from the maga-
zine and falls into place near the ma
tai box the matrix of the particular
letter wanted. The keyboard is laid
out the same as the type case of the
old days, the flower case" or small
letters being on white keys, the "up-
per case' or capitals on black, and
the punctuation marks on blue keys:
separate letters not much used are
kept in little rack at the side and
may be put in by hand. The type
taps away on his keyboard until a bell
rings that tells him line is COM
rleted. He then pushes down a lever
at his right side, and line Of ma
trices is picked up bodily, carried to a
set of clamps, splashed over with hot
metal, and then carried up By an
elevating arm to the distributing

sioners decided 10 order new windows
installed. The present windows have
