called down again by the touch of a
KEY button In form the model IA Limo
type represents the assemhlage of four
distinct machines but 50 arranged that
they work in harmony-the magazine,
the assembling mechanism, the casting
mechanism and the distributing
mechanism.
The magazine is on top of the ma
chine and consists of two brass plates
placed together with a space of about
hve-eighths of an inch between them.
The two inner surfaces are cut with
nlnety-two grooves or channels running
the up and down way of the maya
zine. 1t is in these channels that the
matrices are carried and from which
they are released by the touch of n
key button. Each one of these chan
neis Is of sufficient length to contain
twenty matrices.
The assembling mechanism is the
only part of the linotype where the
human mind is applied to the work of
the machine. 1t is necessary for the
eye to read the copy and the mind
through the medium of the fingers
translates the copy INTO assembled
lines of matrices. After that the ma
chine works automatically. The key
board is made up of 80 keys which
act directly on the matrices in their
respective channels in the magazine
The slightest touch of a key button re.
leases the matrices which drop to the as
scmbler belt and are carried swiftly
to the assembler. When the matrices
for a word are assembled space.
band key is touched and space band
is dropped into the line. When the
necessary space-hands between the
words have been placed in the line the

these wedge-shaped space bands. The
operator raises the assembler by press
ing a lever at the side of the key
board, which in turn transfers the line
of matrices to the casting position.
The casting mechanism consists Of
metal pot, mold disk, mold eiector and
trimming knife. When the line of as
semblcd matrices leaves the asscmbler
it passes to 4 position i'll front of the
mold disk. Through a purely mechan-
zeal operation fluid metal is forced in
to the face of the matrices composing
the line and by means of a water-coolcd
mold slug is instantly produced
which contains the type face mounted
ON lead body.
The distribution of the matrices is
the most wonderful part of the limo
type. The distributor will handle the
matrices day after day. week after
week, taking the lines as they come,
separating the matrices and dropping
each matriX into its proper channel
without an error. This part of the
operation is entirely automatic.
