action pulls down alt the body from the Toronto Type Company parts of the matrix bars and spaces which folds the paper cuts the 1 art of printing moveable letters was invented in and many improvementa and inventions have followed to- fa cilitate the production of boohs and newspapers they been chiefly a line of faster presses For over 100 years no improvement was purchase offered to relievo the compositor in a ahead of printing office of the tedious method of setting type and it remained for the last few years of the Will Century to evolve relief as Canada and the United States And have invested in Montreal in machinery and special tools for its production Up he present time there are on ly about of these machines in use and when we were negotiating for the of one orders were so far the manufacture that the Company required two months to fill our order but have found the Company equal to every part of their agreement and the machine was in- thing used on other machine The keyboard is placed a suitable height to allow an operator to work it easily while silting and the ar rangement of the of the Keyboard is that has adopted in the typewriters In its operation it is automatic By touching a key it re leases a mechanism which the character desired and in an in sight of the operator adds it the line being formed Should the operator accidentally touch a Key the ran be at once without having lt the line The matrix bar in made from spiiiri brass with much care and bar lias characters and as there are bars it gives characters on the keyhoard In just at the left of the key- board there are of these matrix- bars thus giving individual ehari in cast being four times the numfyr in any other line casting machine made Another ad vantage is that every letter takes its turn thus ensuring a perfect face on the type for a longer length of time The spaces used the words are made of steel and tempered as perfectly as a adjustable for thickness in justifying the line lo its predetermined width In operating the the differ ent buttons on the keyboard are touched to brine such char- to a common level in which position they are by books plac ed on the bars and spaces at regular heights The line carriage then starts its return from the left to the pages and pastes the sheets together as fast as the papers are printed With the exception of a slight adjustment we have not had to touch this machine ever since the Toronto machinist put in I 300 right meeting when way hack to J it in running order It saves five or the point of assemblage the distribu- six tours every

invention was stalled in the office two The distribution of the matrix bars arid spaces is effected by levers to which are attached leading wires loi watch spring being also the magazine being collapsed on brought together at a proper time and point to meet- the line carriage Willi its returning line the wires at the free ends of the levers the books of the matrix bars A retraction of the levers then follows which raises the and spaces from the car riage and on the of wire containing same a vr- responding supporting wive in the sev eral magazine chambers they are lite- ally swept from the distributor into about through the numerous strikes among compositors in the large city offices who were already receiv ing from lo per week but through well organized unions were able to exact unreasonable demands or block the trade The idea of casting a line of type at once struck an in ventive mind and the problem was then virtually solved For two or three years we have been under the impression that a type setting machine would be an advan tage to the Era office but know ing that such inventions were in their infancy we deferred the matter until something like perfection could be ob tained After a close examination and tjny of the three machines on the it was promised THE Is a marvel of skill and mechanical intelligence There are over pieces and everything is fitted with the exactness and precision of clockwork Every part is duplicated so that in case of accident at any time any part can lie duplicated from the factory Every piece and part of this ingenious machine which weighs about lbs is made from the raw material in the Companys own factory under the su pervision of competent foremen and overseers and not content with that a system of inspection has been devised and applied which renders it absolutely impossible for defective work or ma terial to enter into the machine as may be desired into line the spaces spaa- key king used in its proper place until an alarm belt notifies the operator that bis line is nearly complete It is then completed or the word following which the operator grasps the lever a l the right of the keyboard thrusts it for ward thereby locking the line of assembled matrix bars and spaces into what is known as the line car riage pulling the handle back starts in motion the entire mechanism of the machine the first action of which is to move the carriage with its assem bled line from its position in or der that the operator may continue the composition thai he may be en gaged upon The line carriage moves to the left a short distance and stopped moment while the justifying is done which action is two short successive strokes on the bottom of the steel work spates which hang be low the matrix bars in Ike line The Centre or core of the steel spaces are made wedged shaped so that when urged upward they expand and thereby push the matrix bars in the line until the given space between the jaws of the line just
