To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The wedges are about three inches long; the thin part only at first is inserted, but just before the bar is cast, an apparatus is released which drives the whole series of letters and space- bands to just the right pressure required to produce the even justification of the fine. The matrices are then carried in front of the mould. The mould passes before the pot contain- 70 TYPESETTING ing the molten metal, which is ejected through a row of holes into the mould. The metal chills and solidifies ...immediately, and the casting is accom- plished without delaying the work of the operator. The cast line, or linotype, passes between knives to be finished to exact size, and is then placed on the galley. The matrices are at once returned to their channels in the magazine, and the space- bands sUde back into their box ready for immediate use. During composition on the Linotype, corrections can be made by changing or transposing any matrix in a line. If a correction is desired after the bar is cast, the whole line must be reset.
