The keyboard is made up of 80 keys,
which act directly on the matrices in
their channels in the magazine. The
slightest touch on the keybuttons re-
leases the matriX, which drops to the
assembler belt and is carried swiftly
to the assembler. When a word is as
acmbled, the spaceband key is touch
ed and a spaceband drops into the as
scmbler. When the necessary mat
rices and spacebands to fill the line
have been assembled, the operator
raises the assembler by pressing a
leyed on the side of the keyboard
When the assembler reaches it's high
est point it automatically starts the
machine and the matrices are trans
ferred to the casting position.
The casting mechanism consists OF
the metal pot, mold disk, mold, ejec
tor, and tramming knives.
The assembling mechanism is the
only part of the Linotype where the
human mind is applied to the work
ing Of the machine. 1t is necessary
for the eye to read the copy, and the
mind, though the medium of the fin
gers, to translate the copy into as
sembled lines of matrices; after that
the machine acts automatically.
The manipulation of the Linotype
keyboard differs from the operation of
q typewriter in that it requires prac-
tically no physical exertion. On a
typewriter the operator strikes the
keys with considerable force, while OF
the Linotype the lightest touch on the
koybuttOns is sufficient to release the
matrices from the magazine. One
quick touch on key will bring down
a matrix; if the key is held down the
matrices viii continue to drop until
the channel is empty.
When the Linotype was first design
ed it was thought that, at best, it
would lie used only for newspaper
composition. But such has been the
excellence of the machine and its
product that it has taken possession
Of every branch of composition for the
printing trade.

NAVY'S BASKETBALL FIVE
MAKES SPLENDID RECORD
Captures ii Out of is Games on the
Basketball Court Glad To Beat
The Crescents

The Naval Academy basketball play
ers, who closed their schedule OF
games with New York University Sat
urday, February ?, although having
sustained defeats, completed a season
that is quite comparable, if not the
peer of the record made by any of the
leading university or college teams OF
the country.
Sixteen games were played, of
which the Sailors won IA, and piled up
the big total of 707 points against
234 for their opponents The Sailors
have shown marked proficiency on the
basketball court since the game was
first established here about u years
ago, and this years aggregation meas
ured up TO the average of former COM
binations, except for the fact that it
lacked an apt player in shooting goals
from the foul circle.
1t was this weakness almost alone
that caused their only two defeats, one
to the University of Pennsylvania and
the other to City College of New York.
These losses came in a row, and
marked the only slump of their pre-
tentiOus seasons work The record
score of the year was that registered
against Gallaudet, SO to u, although
scores were above the half century
mark
Probably the most pleasing victory
was that over the Crescent Athletic
Club OF Brooklyn, 81 to %, especially
because the Crescents were the only
team to trail the colors of the West
Point Cadets. By a score of IA to 4,
the Crescents marred an otherwise
perfect season of the Army lads.
Here is the seasons record:
