label: Description (Brief)
content: The Multigraph was an office printing machine invented in 1902 by H. C. Gammeter, a typewriter salesman. The machine printed either from short type with a specially shaped body, which slid into slots on the printing drum, or from curved plates. The impression was made with printing ink or, for a better facsimile of typewriting, through a ribbon.
