Gently designed linotype Keyboard
for the Hawaiian language which so
facilitates the typesetting that ma
tive operator now holds the worlds
speed record. Hawaiian is what is
designated as fifty per cent Lam
guage, consisting of an alphabet of
only twelve letters. All linotypes,
heretofore in use, had keyboard de-
signed the same as those used for
the English alphabet, and the opera
tors experienced great deal of diff
ficulty in speed. Mr.. Ruhmland saw
the obstacle and arranged keyboard
in the language, using duplicate set
of letters, keeping in mind the fire.

the possibility in lingering. Holo Pau,
a native operator, in little over a

tie over seven lines a minute-and
now holds the record as the most
rapid linotype operator in the world,
who, as the result of Mr.. Ruhmland's
keyboard design has this honor. 1t
