Charlotte Chronicle.)
An interesting visitor in the Gil.
today was Rev. Baylus Cade OF Shee
by, who was at the Buford Hotel. Nj
Cade is the inventor of the Raylg
Cade ~typeSetting machine. and VA
returning from Philadelphia. wher.
he had his machine tested before Nv,
OF the representatives OF the comma
that proposes to build the machine
The test was successful in every de-
tai. and plans are now under way
whereby the will be bafrt
and ready for sale by March 10. 1872.
1t is not decided as Yet whether
they will be manufactured in shelly
or Philadelphia.
A reporter for The Chronicle inter-
viewed Mr.. a d this morning.
What name do you propose t. give
your machine" was asked.
L haven't decided on that matter
as yet, but that is only one OF the
minor matters, and that will be taken
UP later Mr.. Cade answered.
Does your mahcine resemble the
l~inotype?' was the next question.
well something like an eight-day
clock resembles a WheelbarroW j. 4
good way to their likeness ia
looks was the answer.
How about the speed of your ma
chine as compared>to the present type
setters?"
"The speed for setting type Is linz
tied only by the speed of the opera
tor. The keyboard is the same as .
used on all standard typewriters. and
either men or women can use it. II
does not take an expert to repair it
either. Any person who can use a
monkey wrench and screw driver

out of order on my machine. II Is
not as hard to operate as a typewriter
from the fact that there is no car
riage to work back and forth
Does any part of the machine
work like a linotype?'
The only likeness in the working
is the casting Of the lead line
How about the cost" the reporter
v%entured.
My machine Will cost just about
one-foureh what a standard linotype
machine costs. A standard linotype
machine costs at present in the neigh
orhoo of $500. Then by the time
the acesHories have been attached
and the machine installed by an expert
its cost will be about 81, coo.
My machine can be taken apart ready
for shipment in 90 minutes With a
monkey wrench. All the attachments
are on the machine when it is pur-

that cource. [ think my machine will
be sold for about $1,000 or $500.
Even at this price the manufacturers
will reap about 400 per cent in their
investment"
How long has your machine been
invented"
Invented is not a good word, young
man; YOU should have said %inventing
The machine has been inventing for
the last ~ years, and / SuppOSe It will
on ~inventing until after / am gone.
- am very much satisfied with the
result of the test as it was carried on
in Philadelphia. 1t was a success, | am
sure the promoters are as much salts
fed as | am. The mechanical engineer
who manufactured the model machine
conducted the test. Some people ask
ME why it will not be manufactured
before next year. This is due to the
fact that the number of new machines
Will have to be made to manufacture
the parts of the type setter
