 HE present edition of our Specimen
Book will be found to include all the

supplies that the progressive printer

requires for the production of every

description of modern printing.

As one of the most characteristic

and beautiful products of the Age of

Elegance the wonderful Eighteenth

Century, which is being increasingly

regarded as the chief source of artistic inspiration at the present day

Caslon Old Face, which was well in advance of the movement, is now
more popular than ever, besides holding its position as prime favourite

among the arbiters of taste in good typography. As a body type for

bookwork it has no serious rival; its adoption for periodicals is now

general; while, in its larger sizes, it has become indispensable to the

highest class of display.

Of the many beautiful faces we have introduced in modern times

our Cheltenham design, of which this series offers an extraordinarily

wide range of service, is acknowledged to be of supreme excellence.
The complete selection will be found in this book.
 We are now making a speciality of Printers' Joinery, adaptable for
the complete equipment of a printing office, and have recently installed

the most modern plant and machinery for the manufacture of the latest

designs in frames, cabinets, racks, cases, etc., illustrated in the Material

Catalogue. These combined with expert workmanship and the

facilities,

use of well-seasoned wood of the finest quality, enhance our reputation

for excellence and reliability of construction. In addition, we enumerate
a selection of Materials and Machinery necessary for the production of
the best commercial printing. We invite patrons to visit our Showrooms
at 82 and 83 Chiswell Street, London, E.G., or at our Northern Branch,
9 Mosley Street, Manchester, where a varied assortment of our Joinery
and Materials can be seen.

Altogether, this new edition reflects faithfully the vast improvement

in taste, the distinguishing mark of the present century a tendency in

which typography must play an important part and shows the material
means by which printers can keep up with the advance movement in
business method and industrial efficiency.

Introduction

|HE beautiful Caslon Old Face

founts, of which sixteen sizes

(Roman and Italic) are shown

in this book, were engraved by
WILLIAM CASLON nearly two
centuries ago, and are now cast on Point
Bodies. They were at once recognised as
masterpieces, and won for WILLIAM CASLON
and for his Foundry immediate and abiding
fame. To-day they are more popular than
ever, and their vitality is a convincing proof
of their superlative merit. Many favourite
faces are obviously derived from them and ;

the tendency to revert to the pure and simple

dignity of the originals is now so strong as to

justify the inference that the parent stock is

often preferred to the offspring. The Caslon

Old Face founts are now recognised as the
perfection of form and good taste. They are
extensively adopted for the best bookwork,
and also afford unrivalled opportunities for

producing the most exquisite specimens of

chaste, dignified, and pleasing display work.

THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF ENGLISH

TYPOGRAPHY BY TALBOT BAINES REED
from supposed primitive
procefles of that ruder school of early
typography, we now come to review
the practice of a more mature school
which appears to have arrived at once
atthe difcovery of the punch, matrix and adjustable
mould. We
fhould be very loth to aflert that they at
once arrived at the moft perfect mechanifm of these
appliances; but a careful examination of the earlieft
productions of the Mentz press, beautiful indeed as
they are, convinces us that the first printers were not
good TYPEFOUNDERS. But even if the first punches
were wood or copper, and their first matrices lead, or
their first mould no more than a clumsy adaptation
of a compofing-ftick, they yet had the fecret of the
art to perfect it was now merely a matter of time.
;

Experiments have proved conclufively that the face

of a wood type might be without injury impressed
into lead in a ftate of semi-fufion, and thus in creux
an inverted image of itself in the matrix. It has also
been fhown as far back as the year 1756 that a lead
matrix so constructed is capable of being adapted to

EXCERPT FROM AN INSTRUCTIVE HISTORY

OF THE OLD ENGLISH LETTER FOUNDRIES

CCEPTING as the fundamental principle

that the effence of
typography consifts in
types, we omit, as
a mobility of the
being
beyond the fcope of our prefent enquiry,
the xylographic works which
undoubtedly
preceded typography. Paffing rapidly inreview the alleged

ftepping-ftones between the two arts, we fail to see in the

fcanty evidence adduced as to the use of movable wooden
perforated types anything to juftify the conclufion that the
earlieft
produced books by their means. Such type
printer

may have only been cut experimentally, but the practical

difficulty
of cutting them fquare enough to be compofed
in a forme, and of producing a work of the size and the
character of the Speculum, is fatal to their claims. With

regard to the ScuLPTO-Fusi types, letters engraved on caft

metal bodies, the evidence in their favour is of the most

unsatisfactory character, and combined with the practical

of their production, reduces their claim to the
difficulties

minimum. The marked difference of style and excellence

in the typography of some of the earlier books leads us to

accept the theory that in 1476 two fchools of typography

exifted side
by side, one a rude fchool, which, not having

INCONTROVERTIBLE OPINIONS GIVEN AFTER

STUDIOUS TYPOGRAPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS

5 ATURALLY no controversy of bygone periods

aroused so much interest, and unfortunately at
the same time such bitterness in its
attempted
was displayed in endeavouring to
solution, than
find the most convincing answer to a now famous triple

question: "When, where, and by whom was found out the

"
unspeakably useful art of printing books ? And yet the
world to-day is little nearer a finite answer to the question
than it was when ULRIC ZEL indited his memorable narrative
to the Cologne Chronicle in 1498. Indeed, the dust of the
battle has added to, rather than diminished, the mysterious
clouds which envelop the problem, and we are tempted to
seek refuge in an agnosticism which almost openly refuses
to believe that printing ever had an inventor. It would be
neither suitable nor profitable to encumber an investigation
of that part of the History of Typography which relates to
the types and typemaking of the fifteenth century by any

attempt to discuss the vexed question of the invention of

the Art. The man who invented typography was possibly
the man who invented movable type. When the one is at
last discovered, we have also found the other. Meanwhile,
possible to avail ourselves of whatever evidence exists
it is

and methods by which those types were actually

AN AUTHENTIC & INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF

EARLY ENGLISH TYPOGRAPHICAL ACHIEVEMENTS
ERTAINLY, would be but reasonable to suppose that
it

the first idea of movable type may have been suggested

to the mind of the inventor by a study of the works of
a xylographic printer, and a careful observation of the
cumbrous and wearisome method by which his books
were produced. The heavy toil involved in first painfully tracing the
characters and figures, reversed, on the wood, then of engraving them,
and, finally, of printing them with the frotten, would appear, in the

case, at any rate, of the small school books, for the production
many
of which this process was so largely resorted to, scarcely less tedious
than copying the required number by the deft pen of a scribe. And
even if, at a much later period, the bookmakers so far facilitated their
labours as to write their text in the ordinary manner on a prepared

paper, or with prepared ink, and so transfer their copy, after the old
manner of the Chinese, on to the blocks when once their work was
done, would doubtless impress an inventive genius with a deep sense
of dissatisfaction and impatience. We
can imagine him examining

keenly the first page of an Abecedarium, on which would be engraved,

in three lines, with a clear space between each character, the letters
of the alphabet, and speculating as CICERO had speculated centuries
before, on the possibilities presented by the combination in indefinite

variety of those twenty-five symbols. Being a practical man as well

as a theorist, we may suppose he would attempt to experiment on the
little wood block in his hand, and by sawing off first the lines, and
then possibly some of the letters in the attempt to arrange his
lines,
little
types into a few short words. A momentous experiment, and
fraught with the greatest revolution the world has ever experienced !

No question has aroused more interest, or excited keener discussion

in the history of printing, than that of the use of movable wooden

types as a first stage in the passage from Xylography to Typography.

Those who write on the affirmative side of the question profess to

MATRICES WERE HARMONIOUSLY JUSTIFIED IN

ORDER TO SECURE MATHEMATICAL ACCURACY

|OWEVER, of whatever substance their matrices

were made, the early printers appear to have very
rapidly mastered the art of justifying them, so that
when cast in the mould they should not only stand
each letter true in itself, but all true to one another.

Nothing amazes one more upon closely examining many of these

earliest printed works than the wonderful regularity of the type
in itsbody, height, and line and if anything could be considered
;

evidence that those types were produced from matrices in moulds,

and not by the rude method of casting from matrices which thus
comprehended body and face in the same moulding, this alone is
surely conclusive. We go further, and assert that not only must
the matrices have been harmoniously justified, but also the mould

employed, whatever its form, must have had its adjustable parts
finished with a near approach to mathematical accuracy, which left

extremely little to be accomplished in the way of improvement.

Respecting the mould we have but very little more material for
conjecture than with regard to these early punches and matrices.
The vast importance of absolute squareness in the body and height
of type would demand an appliance of even greater precision than
the uncertain hollowed cube of sand or clay also the heat of the
;

lead would point to the adoption of a harder metal like iron or

steel while the varying widths of the sunk letters in the matrices
;

would suggest the adoption of some system of slides whereby the

mould could be expanded or contracted laterally without prejudice
to the invariable regularity of its
body and height. By what crude
methods the first
typefounder contrived to combine these most
essential qualities, we have no means of judging; but were they
ever so crude, to him is due the unique honour of the culminating
achievement of the invention of typography. "His type mould,"
Mr. DE VINNE remarks, "was not merely the first ; it is the only

RECENT DISCOVERY OF TYPOGRAPHICAL APPLIANCES

AS USED BY THE EARLIEST CONTINENTAL PRINTERS

URNING once more from type-casting appliances to the

early types themselves, we are enabled,
thanks to one or
two recent discoveries, to form a fairly good idea as to their
appearance and peculiarities. We have previously stated

that, with reference to the traditional perforated wooden

types seen by certain old writers, the probability
is that,

if all were the genuine relics they professed to be, they were model
these

types which were used for forming moulds upon, or for impressing
into

matrices of moist clay or soft lead. We have also considered it possible, in

regard to types cast in the primitive sand or the clay

moulds of the rude
school, that to overcome the difficulties incident to irregular height to paper,
uneven and loose locking up, the expedient may have been tried of
bodies,
perforating the types and passing a thread or
wire through each line, to hold
the intractable letters in their place. This, however, is simply conjecture,
and whether such types existed or not, none of them have survived to our

day. Their possessors, as they slowly discovered the secret of the punch,
matrix, and mould, would show little veneration, we imagine, for these
clumsy relics of their ignorance, and so value them only as old lead, to
be
remelted and recast by the newer and better method. But though no relic
of these primitive cast types remain, we are happily not without means for

forming a judgment respecting some of the very earliest types of the

more
finished school of printers. In 1878, in the bed of the river Saone, near

Lyons, opposite the site of one of the famous fifteenth century printing
houses of that city, a number of old types were found which there seems
reason to believe belonged once to one of their presses, and were used by
the early printers of Lyons. They came into the hands of M. CLAUDIN, of

Paris, the famous typographical antiquary, who, after careful

examination
and inquiry, has satisfied himself as to their antiquity and value as relics

of the infancy of the art of printing. With regard to the points of interest
to be observed in these venerable relics of the old typographers, the faces of
the type call for special mention. Here it is found that there are traces in
most of the letters of the "shoulders" of the body having been tapered off
with a knife or graver after casting, so as to leave the letter quite clear on
the body. In most cases the letter stands in the centre of the body, which

is,
as a rule, larger than the chara&er actually requires. With regard to the

REASONS ADVANCED AS TO THE PECULIAR NOMENCLATURE

OF TYPE BODIES PRODUCED BY THE EARLY TYPEFOUNDERS

the origin of type-bodies and the nomenclature which has

grown around them, is a branch of

typographical antiquity which has
MOREOVER,
always been shrouded in more or less obscurity. Imagining as we do
that the moulds of the first
printers were of a primitive construction, and though
conceived on true principles, were adjusted to the various sizes of letter they had to
cast more by eye than by rule, it is quite easy to understand that founts would be

cast on no other principle than that of ranging in body and line and height in

themselves, irrespective of the body, height and line of other founts used in the
same press. When two or more founts were required to mix in the same work, then
the necessity of a uniform standard of height would become apparent. When two
or more founts were required to mix in the same line, a uniformity in body, and
also in alignment, would be found necessary. When or marginal notes
initials

required to be incorporated with the text, then the advantage of a mathematical

proportion between one body and another would naturally suggest itself. JOHNSON,
in 1817, states that doubtless the printer would name his sizes of type according
to the works for which they were used. His Canon type would no doubt be the

large character in which he printed the Canon of the Mass. His Cicero type

it was in this manner arose that ancient anomaly, the various

body
standards of the English [Link] a founder who was constantly called
HOWEVER, upon to alter his mould to accommodate a printer requiring a special body,
would naturally cast a quantity of the letter in excess of what was immediately ordered;
and this, if not sold in due time to the person for whom it was cast, would be disposed
of to the first comer, who, requiring a new fount, and not over particular as to body,

provided the additions afterwards to be had were of the same gauge, would take it off
the founder's hands. Facilis descensus Averni ! Having taken the one downward step,
the founder would be called upon constantly to repeat it, his moulds would remain set,
some to the right, some to the wrong standard, and every type he cast would make it
more impossible for him or his posterity to recover the simple standard from which he
had erred. Such we imagine to have been the origin of the irregular and ununiform
bodies. As early as 725, in France, an attempt was made to regulate by a public decree
i

not only the standard height of type, but the scale of bodies. But the system adopted
was clumsy, and added to the confusion it was designed to remove. FOURNIER invented
his typographical points, the first successful attempt at a mathematical systematisation
of type-bodies, which has since with the alternative system of DIDOT, done a great deal
in simplifying French typography. England, Germany, and Holland have been more
conservative, and therefore less fortunate. Attempts were made by Fergusson, and by
Bower of Sheffield, to arrive at a standard of uniformity; but their schemes were not

REMARKABLY INTERESTING SIDELIGHTS ON THE HISTORICAL ASPECT AND

INTRODUCTION OF THE EARLIEST ENGLISH LETTER-FOUNDERS SPECIMENS 1

when printcrt were their own founders, the production of (.heir presses were
also the published specimens of their type. They might, like ScHtxrrt R, in the colophon
NATURALLY, to the Jujttnia* in 1468, call attention to their skill in cutting types; or like CAITON,

print a special advertisement in a special type \ or, like ALDUS, put forward a specimen of the types
of a forthcoming work. But none of these are letter-founders' specimens ; nor was it till letter
founding became a distinct trade that such documents became necessary. England was probably
behind other nations, when in 1665, the tiny specimens of NICHOLAS NICHOLS, were laid under the
Royal notice. It is doubtful whether before MOXON issued a full specimen of his types. He used
the sheet as a means of advertising not only his types, but his trade as a mathematical instrument
maker; and his specimen, taken in connection with his rules for the formation of letters, is a
sorry performance, and not at all comparable to the Oxford University specimen, which that press
published in 1695, exhibiting the gifts of two famous printers. Of other English founders before
1720, no type specimen has come down to us ; that shown by WATSON in his Hiitory of tke Art of
Printing being merely a specimen of bought Dutch types. CASLON'I sheet, in 1734, marked a new
departure. It displayed at a glance the entire contents of the new foundry ; and by printing the
same passage In each size of Roman, gave the printer an opportunity of judging how one body
compared with another for capacity. CASLON wai the nrst to adopt the since familiar "Quousque
tandem" for his Roman specimens. The Latin certainly tends to show off the Roman letter to
best advantage ;
but it undoubtedly gives an inadequate idea of its appearance in any other tongue.
"The Latin language," says DIBDIN, "presents to the eye a great uniformity or evenness of effect,
for the m and *, like the solid sirloin upon our table, have a substantial appearance; no garnishing

the chief point of interest, however, is in the small circle appearing in both near the top, which
M. MADDEN, as regards the type of the JViJrr thus explains "This circle, the contour of which it exactly
:

DOUBTLESS,
formed, ihows that the letter waspierced laterally by a circular hole. Thii hole did not penetrate the whole
thickness of the letter, and served, like the nick of our days, to enable the compositor to tell by touch which way to set
the letter in his stick, so as to be right in the primed page. If the letter had been laid on its other side, the existence of
this link circle would hare been lost for ever." It would, however, be quite possible for a perforated type, with the end
of the hole slightly clogged with ink, to present precisely the same appearance at this, which M. MADDEN concludes
was only slightly pierced ; and were it not for the fatl that the pulling up of the letter from the forme Is itself evidence
that the line could not have been threaded, we should hesitate to affirm that either of the types shown was not perforated.

a type is not a little sunk on some pans of its side ; and this roughness of surface we can imagine to have been
which
far more apparent on the types cast by the earliest printers. We greatly doubt whether, in types liable to these accidental
depressions of surface, a small artificial hole thus easily simulated would be of any service as a guide to the compositor.
Perhaps the most probable explanation of the appearance seems to be that the head of a small screw or pin, used to fix
the side-piece of the mould, projecting slightly on the surface of the piece it fixed, left its mark on the side of the types
as theywen cast, and thus caused the circular depression. Before leaving this subject it may be remarked that the clear
impression of the printed matter, despite the laid on types, which must in either case have been a thin son, is strong
evidence of the softness of the metal in which the fount was cast. The press appears to have crushed the truant types
down into the letters on which it lay, and, unimpeded by the obstacle, to have taken as good an impression of ta*
remainder of the form* as If thai obstacle had never existed. Such arc some of the chief points of interest to be observed
in these venerable relic* of the old typographers. It is to be hopedthat M. CLAUDIN may before long favour the world
with a full and detailed account of their many peculiarities. Yet, curious as they arc, they prove that the type* of the
fifteenth century differed in no essential particular from those of the nineteenth. Further discoveries in 1(84 proved but

imagine that an explanation of the great
superiority of our national typography at
the close of the fourteenth century, is to
be found mainly in the fact that, whereas
i

many of the early printers used letters undoubtedly wholly cut

and cast for them by experienced foreign artists, their successors
began first to cast for themselves from purchased matrices, and

finally to cut their own punches and justify their own matrices.
Printing entered on a gloomy stage of its career in the earlier
part of the fifteenth century, and as State restrictions gradually
hemmed it in, crushing by its monopolies healthy competition,
and by its jealousy foreign trade, every printer became his own
typefounder, not because he would, but because he was forced

little tract issued about Urn time the author, after highly

commending a decree limiting the number of printers, goes

on to say that notwithstanding these stern measures, less
than three years later printing and printers were grown
to monstrous excess and exorbitant riot," and that the law
was openly infringed at all points, and in this "monstrous

letterfounders of the day figured. Again, it seems equally

REMINISCENCES OF A FAMOUS TYPOGRAPHER

Theodore De Vinne commenced America his experiences as a printer in
at a particularly small newspaper office near New York about 1843, and
several years later removed to that famous city which eventually became
the birthplace of the now celebrated printing house bearing his honoured
name. The inasmuch as they
earlier years of his progress are interesting

represent his continued advance from journeyman to master through the

POPULAR BIOGRAPHY OF STATESMAN AND PHILOSOPHER

Moreover, his vocation as a printer at Philadelphia brought him to the notice of the mayor,
an incident which had a very powerful influence upon his future life, while his remarkable
cleverness in the printing of State paper money soon gained for him the friendship of several
important members of the government. Among these was the celebrated advocate Andrew
Hamilton who procured for him the appointment of State printer again, his proprietorship ;

of an important paper brought him many friends in fact his whole political life originated

Bearing in mind the remarkable talent with which Franklin was endowed which must have made him
a reputable man under any condition, yet he would have been a much smaller man historically, so to
speak, had he not in his youthful days been a practical printer. Bound apprentice to the trade at the
age of twelve, he was brought into direct connection from his very earliest youth with the booksellers
of his locality, which gave him an exceptional opportunity of borrowing and reading numerous books.
His varied duties brought him into contact with eminent literary characters, some of whom possessed
excellent libraries and whose conversation as well as books, greatly enlarged his mind, while his ability

INTERESTING HISTORICAL INCIDENTS IN THE CAREER OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

His proprietorship of an important publication certainly gained him many friends, in fact his whole political career originated
in and was influenced by his connection with typography it is therefore somewhat remarkable that his name throughout the
;

world is almost entirely associated with his politics, his philosophy and his science. Upon the scores of portraits engraved in
his honour he is always referred to as the statesman and philosopher, and for years I have sought in vain for a portrait upon
which his connection with the printing press was in any way recognised ; moreover the dealers and collectors knew of none
such, and it was only during the last twenty years that an almost unknown engraving reached my hands upon which Franklin
was designated as the philosopher and printer again, of all the medals struck in his honour, and they are numerous, not one

REMARKABLE OBSERVATIONS OF SYMPATHIES AND ANTIPATHIES.

JY/fOREOVER, natural circumspection, or the part operative of natural philosophy, we will separate
* into classes, experimental, philosophical, and magical ; which three classes active have a direct
correspondence and analogy with the divisions speculative, natural history, physic, and metaphysic : for

undoubtedly several operations have been invented, sometimes by a chance incidence and occurrence ;

occasionally by a purposed and carefully thought out experiment, and of those which have curiously
been found by an intentional experiment some naturally have been revealed by varying or extending
the same experiment, others by transferring and compounding numerous experiments the one into the
other, which peculiar kind of invention an empiric may manage moreover by the wide knowledge ; of

physical causes there cannot fail to arise indications and designations of further particulars if men in
their speculation will keep one eye upon use and practice. These are but coastings along the shore
firemendo littus iniejuum forit seemeth to me there can scarcely be discovered any fundamental or

radical changes and innovations in Nature itself, either by the fortune and essays of experiments, or

by the light and direction of physical causes. If we have, therefore, reported metaphysic deficient, it
must follow that we do the like of natural magic, which undoubtedly hath relation thereunto again, ;

as for the natural magic whereof now there is notice in books, which contains many credulous and
superstitious conceits and observations of sympathies and antipathies, and hidden proprieties and also
numerous frivolous experiments, strange rather by disguisement than in themselves, it is as far differing
in truth of Nature from such a knowledge as we require as the story of Hugh of Bordeaux differs from
Caesar's Commentaries in truth of story, for it is manifest that Caesar did greater things de z>ero than
these imaginary heroes were feigned to do, but he did them not in that fabulous manner. Therefore
we may also note in these sciences which hold so much of imagination and belief, as this degenerate
natural magic, alchemy, astrology, and the like, that in their propositions the description of the means
is ever more monstrous than the pretence or end. For it is a thing more probable that this 1234567890

JOWEVER, examining life's
varied employments in none can
be traced so distinctly the action
and counteraction upon learning
and occupation as is discerned in the history
of famous printers, for unquestionably many
men are worldly renowned in literature who
began their careers as typographers; then in
numerous instances, following the precedent
of celebrated pioneers, men have established
and carried on printing houses as the useful
means of exercising their intellectual powers.
The former class boasts no greater influence
in this direction than the honoured name of
Franklin, the writer of biographies, memoirs,
and essays yet, notwithstanding, in his own

history, while praising his patriotism, genius,

virtue and science, many authors make little

his early career as a printer made upon his

SOME PARADOXES OF SCIENCE.

SlSTINGUISHED scientists assert that

the solid and evidently homogeneous

substance described peculiarly as the
O* wonderful and omnipresent element
ether, infinitesimally compressed and confined to
the least possible space would then be equivalent
to one ten-thousand-millionth part of the platinum
particle, while the most remarkable feature would
be the extraordinary density of ether as compared
with platinum. There are many arguments which
consequently evince this paradoxical truth relating
to the mathematics of electricity. Many physicists

consider the high density of the ether would be of

an electro-magnetic nature which cannot be moved
mechanically, so the leading scientific theories that
define this enigmatical material substance as being
the most solid and heaviest conceivable, or assume
what undoubtedly represented by our common
is

knowledge as mass and weight, receive munificent

support through these comprehensive propositions.
Granting the theory that ether is denser and more
solidthan metal, numerous problems immediately
present themselves for scientific explanation how ;

very difficult to understand from this philosophic

theorising why celestial bodies move through such
a substance without constant and also 1234567890

OREOVER, his extensive printing experience

already optimistic future, while his handling

of the difficult paper-money printing almost

naturally obtained for him the powerful friendship of the
most members of the Government, and finally
influential

procured for him the appointment of State printer again, ;

his proprietorship of an important paper also brought him

many friends in fact his whole political career originated

;

in and was influenced by his connection with typography.

It is therefore somewhat remarkable that his name should

throughout the world be almost exclusively associated with

his politics, his philosophy, and his science. Upon the score
of portraits engraved in his honour he is always referred to
as the statesman and philosopher, while his connection with
the printing press was absolutely unrecognised moreover ;

of all the medals struck in his honour, and they are many,
not one condescends to name him as a printer, a title which
Franklin himself highly prized to his dying day :
surely a
very interesting and amusing volume might be written upon
him, leaving out altogether the patriotic and scientific side
of his character. He was on terms of intimacy with all the
great and learned printers of his day, and numerous letters
from eminent typographers still exist, offering an attractive
field for biography the cleverness and resources exhibited
:

his ability in casting type, for when out of sorts the ordinary
workman takes the nearest face suitable as a makeshift but ;

not so with Franklin, he was not overcome by difficulties,

it as a punch, he struck it into a cube of
clay, thus making the
matrix then with great trouble and perseverance ultimately

REMARKABLE TYPOGRAPHICAL BIOGRAPHIES.

(EARING in mind the remarkable gifts with which
Franklin was enriched and that such undoubtedly
would have inevitably made him a foremost man,
still he would have historically been a lesser man

so to speak, had he not, for some time in his youth

studied printing. Bound to the trade as apprentice
at twelve, he was brought into direct connection from his earliest
youth with the chief booksellers of his locality, which gave him an

somewhat characteristically on printing and its history.
What a fine figure did the famous Laurence Janszoon
Coster exhibit some many years back ! his birthplace

parentage, and ancestors were collectively known, his

posterity even to the third and fourth generations were tabulated in a
genealogical tree, which, for minute precision and accuracy, seemed well

nigh incredible. The particular house in which he unostentatiously lived

the famous old town was identified and visited by enthusiastic tourists,
while a stone monument was erected in the wood to his memory on the
very spot where in meditation he first contemplated the idea of movable
types. Even royalty and the nobility openly honoured his memory the ;

savants to a man believed in him, and the people were undoubtedly very
proud of him medals in abundance were struck in his honour also

prevailed during that historic period. But leaving the question relating
to the invention of typography as unsolved, it would be but reasonable

conjecture to suppose that the first idea of movable type was suggested
to the mind of the inventor by studying the handiwork of a xylographic

printer, and a close observation of the cumbrous and wearisome method

by which his books were produced. The irksome task involved in first
painfully tracing the reversed characters and figures on the wood, then
of engraving them, and finally of printing them with the frotten, would

appear, in the designing of many small school books at any rate, for the
production of which this process was so constantly resorted to, scarcely
less tedious than copying the required number by the dexterous pen of
a scribe. And even if, at a much later period, the bookmakers obviated

that tedium by writing their text in the ordinary manner on a prepared

paper, and with special ink took a transfer of their copy, after the style
of the Chinese, on to the blocks when once their work was done, would
doubtless impress the inventive genius with a deep sense of impatience
and dissatisfaction. We
can also imagine him keenly examining the first
page of an Abecedarian, on which would be engraved the letters of the
alphabet, with a clear space between each character, and speculating as
Cicero speculated centuries before, on the possibilities open 1234567890

in regard to various types cast in
the historic clay moulds of the earlier schools,
that to overcome many difficulties incident to
irregular heights to paper, uneven bodies, and
loose locking up, the expedient may possibly have been
tried of say perforating the types and threading a wire
through each line, to hold the intractable letters in their
place, but, however, this is simply conjecture, for whether
such types existed or not, none of them have survived to
the present day ; it seems almost beyond credit that any
such rude experiment ever resulted in the production of
a work like before stated, though it is true that writers
have maintained that it undoubtedly was so; Fournier, a

DISTINGUISHED HISTORIAN'S RESEARCHES.

RETURNING to survey those periods of Typography when
printers were reasonably assumed to have been their own
founders, we may carefully and concisely gather together
any further information which would throw greater light
on numerous methods of letterfounding, leaving it to the historian of
printing to suitably describe the productions which must be regarded,
not only as the works of our earliest printers, but more especially as
the foremost specimen books of our earliest type founders ; moreover,
our numerous chroniclers are, as we conceive, misleading, when they
single out half a dozen names from the numerous printers as if they
only had been concerned in the remarkable development of the art of
letter cutting and founding. It is true that these names are possibly
the most distinguished; but it is also necessary to bear in mind that
nevertheless, the most obscure printer of these early days, unless he
managed purchase his founts from abroad, or perhaps obtained
to
the reversion of the worn types of another printer, probably cast his
letter in his own moulds and from his own matrices; for respecting

many of the early printers, our authentic information 1234567890

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES NOW RECOGNISED.

[RANTING that the fundamental principle of typography is in
the mobility of the type, we will omit, as being beyond the scope
of exhaustive enquiry, those xylographic works which preceded
typography. Passing on rapidly in review the alleged stepping
stones between the two arts, we most certainly fail to see by the
use of movable wooden perforated types anything to justify the conclusion
that the earliest printer printed books by these means. Such types may have
been cut experimentally, but the practical difficulty of cutting them square
enough to be composed in a forme, and of producing a work of the size and
" "
character of the Speculum is undoubtedly fatal to their claims. However,
nothing astonishes one more upon closely examining many of these earliest
printed works than the wonderful regularity of the type in its body, height,
and line ; and if anything could be considered evidence that these types were
produced from matrices in moulds, and not by the rude method of casting
from matrices which, as at the present day, combined body and face in the
same moulding, this feature atone is conclusive. We might go further, and
assert that not only must the matrices have been harmoniously justified, but
also the mould employed, whatever its form, must have had its adjustable
parts finished with a near approach to mathematical accuracy, which left
extremely little to be accomplished in the way of improvement. 1234567890

REMARKABLE EVOLUTION OF LETTERPRESS PRINTING.

JERTAINLY no modern controversy has aroused such interest, and at the
same time such bitterness in its solution, as the effort to get satisfactory
proof as to by whom was found out the useful art of printing books; but,
moreover, the dust of battle has added to, rather than diminished, the clouds which
envelope the problem, and we are tempted to seek refuge in agnosticism which almost
openly refuses to believe that printing ever had an inventor. It would be altogether
unprofitable to encumber an investigation which relates to the types and typemaking
of the fifteenth century by any attempt to discuss the vexed question of the invention
of the Art, but the man who invented Typography was possibly the man who invented
movable type, and where the one is found we have also found the other; at present
if is possible to avail ourselves of evidence that exists as to the nature
of the types
he and his successors used. No question has aroused greater interest, and excited
keener discussion in the history of printing than that of the use of movable wooden
types as a first stage in the passage from xylography to typography ; for those who
write on the affirmative side of the question profess to see in the early works, as
well as in the historical statements that are handed down by the old authorities, the
clearest evidence that wooden types were used and that several of the most famous
works of the earliest printers were produced by their means. However, we may now
believe that certain of the early printers, uninitiated into the mystery of the punch,
may have tried to cut themselves wooden letters, which when they were untractable
under the press, they perforated and strung together in lines ; but it is also beyond
credit that any such rude experiment ever resulted in the production 1234567890

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF TYPOGRAPHICAL ANTIQUITIES.

tOWEVER, turning again from type casting appliances to the types themselves, we
are enabled, thanks to numerous recent discoveries to form a good idea as to their
peculiarities. We have previously mentioned that, with reference to the traditional
perforated wooden types seen by certain old writers, if all these were the genuine
relics they professed to be, they were model types which were used for forming moulds upon
or for impressing into matrices of moist clay or soft lead. We have also considered it possible
in regard to types cast in the primitive sand or clay moulds of the rude schools, that to overcome
the difficulties incident to irregular height to paper, uneven bodies, and loose locking up, the
expedient may have been tried of perforating the types and passing a thread or wire through
each line, to hold the intractable letters in their place, but this, again, is simply conjecture, and
whether such types existed or not none of them have survived to our day, for their possessors
as they somewhat slowly discovered the secret of the punch, matrix, and mould, would show
little veneration, we imagine, for these clumsy relics of their ignorance, and value them only
as old lead, to be remelted and recast by a newer and better method But though no relic of
these early cast types remain, we are happily not without means for forming a judgment
respecting some of the earliest types of the more finished school of printers. In the bed of the
river Saone, near Lyons, opposite the site of one of the remarkable fifteenth century printing
houses of that city a number of old types were discovered which there seems every reason to
believe belonged once to one of those renowned presses and were used by the early printers of
Lyons. They came into the possession of M. Claudin of Paris, the distinguished typographical
antiquary, who after careful examination and inquiry, has satisfied himself as to their value
and antiquity as genuine relics of the infancy of the art of printing. It has been our excellent
fortune by the kindness of M. Claudin, to have an opportunity of inspecting these relics. The
metal used is lead, slightly alloyed with some harder substance, which in the case of a few of
the tvpes seem to be iron. There is little doubt they were all cast in a mould. The chief point
which strikes the observer is the variety in the "height to paper " of the different 1234567890

CL Walpole decided that the Strawberry Hill Press
should be the name of his printing-house, and to still
further identify its publications with his residence he
had a plate engraved and ornamented with a border
from which a coat-of-arms depended, whilst a scroll
bearing the motto Fari qua Sentiat was intertwined

HORACE WALPOLE spent many weeks each year on the Continent
and during that time he wrote Historic Doubts which established his

reputation as an author, having an extensive circulation of quite eight

hundred copies for the first edition. CLThe Gothic Castle situated
near his country mansion, with its collection of pictures, armour and
many curiosities, one of the show places
had become celebrated as

in England, and he declared that he shuddered when the gate bell

rang, so numerous were the sightseers, and on very many occasions

he was tempted to refuse them admission but mslead of taking this ;

course he ereded a cottage near the mansion and fled precipitately

when the large number of visitors threatened his studious retirement

Moreover, the printing office was extremely interesting to those who

journeyed to Strawberry Hill, the process of producing pamphlets
and large publications being explained to their complete satisfaction
For nearly three years remarkable attention was beslowed on a work
which eventually raised a storm of criticism concerning its veracity
several influential members of the Society of Antiquaries objecting to
its further issue, withdrawing from the society and leaving history to

settle the question, d, The press was now in great danger of coming

PROGRESSIVE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

research during the past twenty or thirty years, by

MODERN a constant accumulating mass of evidence, has unmistakably
driven the greatest thinkers and physicists to search for a still fuller

understanding of the enigmas of the material universe ;

for showing
how gradually, in fact, almost imperceptibly, the idea has steadily
changed concerning the ether may be observed by referring to any
scientific treatise or text-book of about fifty or sixty years ago, for
if mentioned there it is simply in terms of doubt and uncertainty.
Newton had postulated its existence in space, and Descartes had

imagined it as some unknown substance and gaseous combination

occupying the vast voids of space beyond this material world, but
whose properties and qualities no mortal ever hoped to discover.
Ct, Modern science now sees everywhere its hand, for the light
which reaches us is a strong vibration of it, the electric current is

probably a and wireless telegraphy signals are transmitted by

strain,

waves of the same inscrutable ether. Gravitation, that force much

swifter than light, omnipresent, all-pervading, which controls the
movements of the universe and fixes the place of sun and planets
is etheric ;
also matter itself is suspected by the daring inquirer to be
composed of electrons, which are particles of it, and we ourselves

may be only vibrations of the same substance ;

it is everywhere,
and to its strains the phenomena of life and existence have been
reduced by modern thought. CL, Sir Oliver Lodge attracted great
attention by putting forward another hypothesis, related in some

degree, in the Philosophical Magazine, starting with the view

provisionally accepted by scientists and supported by substantial

evidence, that all matter is composed of electrons or infinitesimal

configurations of the ether moving about freely and also endowed

with some definite embodiment, though transparent and 234567

observe in a lump of platinum a space closely packed with atoms of the size of
footballs, and could we again magnify these to the size of a house the result would
certainly be most astonishing, emptiness* instead of solid substance in each atom
;

some thousands or tens of thousands of electrons would be whirling round with

inconceivably rapid movement, which, holding the empty space like a garrison,
would prevent all intruders but the strangest feature of the atom would be its
;

emptiness, for if
compressed into the smallest possible space, packed together as
closely as can be conceived, the electrons or corpuscles would occupy only one
ten-thousand-millionth part of the platinum, fl. The rest of the seemingly solid
and homogeneous body would be clear of all visible substance, unsubstantial as
space through which the heavenly bodies move appears to our existing senses.
From this it should further follow that the density of the ether will be at least
ten thousand million times that of the platinum which its particles form when

arranged in a certain way; instead of being incredibly tenuous, the substance

which fills
space may be denser far than platinum, which is one of the heaviest
and most solid substances that exist again, there are other arguments concerned
;

with the abstruse mathematics of electricity, for the density of the ether would
be of an electro-magnetic nature, and would not be felt mechanically, because it
cannot be moved by mechanical means the theory that Professor Reynolds put
:

before the scientific world quite recently was indeed very similar to this opinion
in many particulars, fl. This theory had the rare merit of giving an intelligible
account of gravitation, the force which has as yet eluded scientific explanation,
but on account of the immense paradoxes in its reasoning it did not find general

acceptance, yet towards it the world is still moving, but as for the paradoxes it is
well to remember that the evidence of the senses should be distrusted at every

point; the senses would tell us that the world is flat, and that the sun revolves
around the earth ; for was possible till men got away from
no progress in science

the senses and tested their verdicts

by reason; so that it does not disprove the

theory of the ether or render absurd the present explanation of substance and
matter if the table which we touch appears to the senses to be solid material,
whereas the ether appears to be something the reverse of all that is implied in
solidity and density but another twenty years of investigation may yield far more

unlocking the terrific forces centred in nature may enable

REMARKABLE TYPOGRAPHICAL ANTIQUITIES

the last twenty or thirty years very greatly increased attention has been
WITHIN paid to the study of typographical antiquities ; up to that time a large number of
books undoubtedly existed dealing with numerous phases of the early history of the art,
but they were characterised by remarkable looseness of statement and extreme hardihood
of assertion in very many instances ; also we have seen publications that professed to claim

originality produce matter for their readers which was only transposed from superseded
sources, and that ignored entirely the results of recent
investigation and latest research.

The question may possibly be asked whether antiquities are worth their search, troubling
about the old things of the past, when there are much better things in existence in the

present, and will be in the future ? J We

will not deny the statement that we, living

in the present century, are in many respects in advance of,

although we come after, our
craftsmen of the eighteenth century but there are great practical and utilitarian reasons for
;

not ignoring the achievements of our ancestors, for the study of ancient books merely as
old books would appear to be a pursuit the very reverse of remunerative, and perhaps the
reverse of attractive ; but we will take a case for illustration, which occurs frequently.
There is an old worn and soiled volume exposed for sale outside a bookseller's window
which is
passed over by many who are in search of a perfect binding and clean pages,
the type in this book being dark and close together, and the binding worse than 23456

possession will have very considerably changed almost tremblingly and with an affectionate

the early put of the nineteenth century an ancient hall near Gainsborough was being repaired, and
DURING
the library was overhauled too the upienl individual who had the latter work in hand thought it advisable
;

to throw out all old, dirty-looking, unbound books, and they were disposed ol in a very summary fashion, for rapidly
a heap of them was made up and destroyed, with the exception of a few which the gardener look home ; among
them was a book printed at the end of the fourteenth or at the beginning of the fifteenth century. In the course of
lime the gardener died, and his son made a further wide clearance among the rubbish, but spared that particular
volume, and kept it on a shelf in his home, where it remained unnoticed for many years ; eventually, when a pedlar
came along, he was offered a bundle of old books, including this volume, for ninepence, which he carried to the
next market town and sold to a tradesman for three shillings, the pedlar thinking he had secured a good price.
<!. Ihc tradesman noticed one book, entitled, 'Typography' which had some very singular pictures in il, placed it

on one side, and when next visiting his town stationer showed him the volume, and offered il for sale al one guinea.
The stationer put the book in his window, but did not feel disposed to pay a guinea for it until an author in the
neighbourhood bid pounds five for it, and then the stationer paid the tradesman the amount however, (he stationer

afterwards showed the volume to a book dealer of some experience, who gave him seven guineas for il, and no
doubt he thought he had secured a magnificent price for it. O, The book dealer look il away to the metropolis and
then showed it to a celebrated collector, who gave him seventy pounds for it. When thai celebrated collector died
this volume, among the other valuable contents of the Crenollle Library, was presented lo the British Museum.
It will neverbe sold again, but if now put up lo audion il would be worth probably quite one thousand pounds.

with this reservation, we return to human philosophy or

HOWEVER,
humanity, which contains two main parts, the one considereth man

segregate or distributively, the other as congregate or in society therefore ;

human philosophy is either simple and particular, or conjugate and civil.

Humanity particular consisteth of the same parts whereof man consisteth
that mainly
is knowledges which respect the body, and of knowledges
of
that respect the mind. But before we distribute so far, it is perhaps good
to constitute for must take the consideration in general, and at large, of

I

human nature to be fit to be emancipate and made a knowledge by itself,

not so much in regard of those delightful and beautiful discourses which

have been made man, of his miseries, of his state and life
of the dignity of
and the like adjunct of his common and undivided nature but especially ;

in regard of the knowledge concerning the sympathies and concordances

between the mind and body, which being mixed cannot necessarily be
correctly assigned to the sciences of either. This knowledge hath clearly
two branches for as all leagues and amities consist of mutual intelligence
:

and mutual offices, so this league of mind and body hath also these two
parts : how and how the one worketh upon
the one discloseth the other,
the other; discovery and impression. The former of these hath begotten
two arts, both of prediction or prenotion inasmuch as the one is honoured
;

with the inquiry of Aristotle, the other of Hippocrates, and although they
have been used to be coupled with superstitious and fantastical arts, yet
being cleansed and restored to their true state, they have both of them a
secure foundation in Nature, and moreover a profitable use in life: the first
is physiognomy which undoubtedly reveals the disposition of the mind by

the lineaments of the body; the second is the exposition of natural dreams
which reveals the slate of the body by the imagination of the mind. In
the former of these I hath very ingeniously
note a deficience : for Aristotle

and diligently handled the failures of the body, but not the gestures of the
body, which are no less comprehensible by art, and of much wider use and
advantage ; for the lineaments of the body do disclose the disposition and
inclination of the mind in general; but the motions of the countenance and

partsdo not only so, but do further disclose the present humour and state
of themind and will. The latter branch, dealing with impression, hath not
been collected into art, but hath been handled dispersedly; and it 249387

from the ordinary course of generations, productions, and motions whether they be ;

singularities of place and region, or the remarkable events of time and chance, or the
effects of yet unknown properties, or the instances of exception to general kinds. It is

also true I find a number of books of fabulous experiments and secrets, and frivolous
impostures for pleasure and strangeness but a substantial and severe collection of
;

the heteroclites or irregulars of Nature, well examined and fully described, I find not,
specially not with due rejection of fables and popular errors for as things now are;

ifan untruth in Nature be once on foot, what by reason of the neglect of examination
and countenance of antiquity, and what by sound reason of the use of the opinion in
similitudes and ornaments of speech, it is but rarely called down. Neither am I of the
opinion in this history of marvels that superstitious narrations of sorceries, witchcrafts,
dreams, divinations, and the like, where there is an assurance and clear evidence of
the fact, be altogether excluded for it is not yet known in what cases and how far
;

effects attributed to superstition do participate of natural causes and, therefore, the ;

EMINENT HISTORICAL RECORDERS

MODERN scholars recognise that for all reasonable purposes the
italic letter may be said to have originated with the scribes and

literary men of the Italian Renaissance. With the awakening of

cultured feelings came the demand for a more rapid medium, as
when only prayers and chronicles were to be transcribed, the
old letter would serve, but the men of the Renaissance burned
\\ith a desire for expression, and demanded a
style of writing
that could be used before the inspiration cooled. But then the
patrons had also to be considered, for a creditable poem gained
much from being clearly and gracefully written out, as the times
required that the work of scholars should be done in a beautiful
manner, and there is ground for the belief that the earliest italic
types were cut directly from the handwriting of Petrarch, and
an examination of some of the fifteenth century books confirms

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES ACCEPTED

ACCEPTING as the fundamental principle that the essence of
typography is in the mobility of the types, we omit, as beyond
the scope of our inquiry, the xylographic works which have
preceded typography. Passing in review the alleged stepping
stones between the two arts, we refuse to see in the evidence
submitted as to the use of movable wooden perforated types
anything to warrant the conclusion that the early printers of
the seventeenth century printed books by their means. Such
letters may have been cut experimentally, but the practical

REMARKABLE TYPEFOUNDING DEVELOPMENT

RESPECTING the development of letter-founding as an industry, there
isunfortunately so little to be gathered from fifteenth-century history.
At first the art of the inventor was a mystery divulged to none ; but
in course oftime the secret spread broadcast over Europe during this :

century, Schoeffer is thought to have issued the first advertisement in

the annals of typography. In numerous cases printers were their own

founders, and each printer had his own types. But type depots and
markets, and the wandering of the many itinerant typographers, as
the demands of printing thus increased, brought the founts of various

presses and nations to various centres, and thus gave the first impulse

PROCESSES ADOPTED BY EARLY TYPOGRAPHERS

TURNING however to the processes adopted by the typographers of a more
advanced school, we consider that in the first instance, although apparently
having grasped the principle of the punch, the matrix, and the mould, they
may, nevertheless, have made use of inferior appliances, possibly by forming
their matrices in lead from wooden or leaden punches or models, advancing
thence by degrees to the use of steel punches, copper matrices, and the
bipartite iron mould. The variations observable in the sixteenth century
works of this school are due mainly to uneven casting and wear and tear of
the types as to the metal in which the type was cast, we find mention is
:

made of almost every known metal, several of which, however, refer to the

COKRECT MOULDS WITH MATHEMATICAL ADJUSTMENTS

Tvi'K-itoniES and their origin, with the nomenclature which has gradually grown
around them, is a side-light of typographical antiquity which has always been more
or Irss shrouded in obscurity. Though conceived on true principles, the moulds of
the early founders were of primitive construction, and it is but natural to suppose
more by eye than by
\\rn- adjusted to the various sizes of letters they had to cast

type continued to long occupy considerable space in the
specimens of the early founders, but to return to a very brief
survey of that remarkable period when all printers were their
own letter-founders, we shall naturally attempt but little more
than to gather together, as briefly as possible, any additional
facts which throw more light on the opening days of English
letter-founding, leaving it to the historian of printing to ably
describe the productions which must be regarded, not only
as theworks of our earliest printers, but also as the specimen
books of our earliest letter-founders ; moreover, our numerous
chroniclers are, as we
conceive, misleading, when they single
out half a dozen names from the long list of printers as if they
only had been concerned in the remarkable, even wonderful
development of the art of letter-cutting and founding. It is true
that these names are possibly the most distinguished but it is ;

also necessary to bear in mind that the most obscure printer of

the early days, unless he managed to purchase his founts from
abroad, or perhaps obtained the reversion of the worn types
of another printer, probably cast his letter in his own moulds
and from his own matrices for respecting many of our early

printers, our authentic information especially with regard to

their mechanical operations is extremely meagre but the able ;

factsand conjectures as to the letter-founding of the period
in which they flourished. Adopting as a fundamental rule that
the bibliographer should indeed make such an accurate and
absolute methodical study of the remarkable types and habits

MECHANICAL APPLIANCES NECESSARY.

>\\'EVER, it must certainly be admitted that any conclusion
Hi we may come to as to Caxton's operations as a letter-founder
are purely conjectural ; for in none of his works, in several of which
he discourses somewhat freely on his excessive labour as a translator
and a does he give us the slightest allusion to the casting of

his types, nor does there remain specimens or contemporary records

computed to throw light on such an interesting topic. That Caxton

made use of cast types, it is hardly necessary here to assert, for even
admitting the existence of a middle stage between Typography and
Xylography, the general identity of his letters, the constant solidity
of his pages, and the recurrence of certain flaws among his types,

may he taken as sufficient evidence that his types were and not cast,

separately engraved by hand for it is hardly possible that while in

;

residence at Bruges, he would neglect to make himself familiar with

the surprising methods for the production and also the remarkable

multiplication of types that were rightly considered so extraordinary,

and it is at least reasonable to suppose that, once established in this
country, and removed far from the origin of his former supplies, he
would put into practice this branch of his knowledge, and produce
for himself the several founts of which he made use ;
hut as to the
particular process he employed, we have, as a historian points out,
only adverse evidence on which to rely, for the frequent unevenness
and the deviation of his lines, also the wide variations of the letters
themselves, lead to the conclusion that the method employed was a
rude one, inferior not only to that now in use, but even to that used
In the advanced German schools of printing of his own day. But

rude, however, as his method may have been, we are not disposed
to acknowledge that Caxton produced the Recuyell without resort to
the use of a matrix and adjustable mould, for it is more than likely
that retaining the principle of the punch, matrix, and the adjustable

mould, but badly furnished with the mechanical means for putting
that method into practice, he made use of rather rough and inferior

TYPOGRAPHICAL RESTRICTIONS OVERCOME.

printers would naturally endeavour, if at all possible,

MOREOVER,
to stock themselves not with types merely, but also with matrices
of the founts of their choice and, indeed, we naturally imagine that an
;

explanation of the remarkable superiority of our national typography at

the close of the fourteenth century, is to be found chiefly in the fact that,
whereas many of the early printers used types undoubtedly wholly cut
and cast for them by skilled and expert foreign artists, their successors
began first to cast for themselves from hired or purchased matrices, and
finally to cut their own punches and justify their own matrices. Printing
entered on a gloomy stage of its career in the early fifteenth century, and
as State restrictions gradually hemmed it in, crushing by its monopolies
healthy competition, and by its
jealousy foreign succour, every printer
became his own type-founder, not because he would, but because he was
compelled by force of circumstances the art suffered in consequence.
:

Of the operations of a sixteenth century letter-foundry, we are well able

to form some adequate idea from the quaint engraving preserved to us by
an early publication, for the picture shows in a very remarkable manner
the founder seated at his modest brick furnace, casting letter in a mould.
This mould differs very considerably from the modern hand-moulds in
its being pyramidical in shape, and holding the matrix as a fixture in its

interior :two of the moulds showing a hole in their side, into which the
matrix was inserted also from the way in which the caster is grasping
;

the mould, it would seem that it was bipartite, requiring the two halves
holding together during casting; again, the types lying in the bowl have
breaks attached to them, which at that date were in all probability cast
so as to be easily detached behind the casters are some drawers, most
;

likely intended to contain matrices, of which one or two lie on the top
waiting their turn to be used on the lower of the two shelves above the
;

furnace are some crucibles, in which the metals would be mixed before
filling up the casting-pan also on the upper shelf, besides more moulds
;

are some sieves, suggestive of the use of sand, either for moulding large
letters, or, as a historian suggests, for running the small ingots of metal
into for use in the melting-pot. The small room in which this caster is
operating in all probability formed part of a printing office ;
and another
very interesting engraving, of perhaps, a still earlier date, shows the two
departments of the typographer's art going on in adjoining apartments.
In this case the caster is sitting ;
but his mould, large as it is, appears to
be furnished with a spring at (lie bottom, more like the modern hand mould.
In the lines that accompany this picture the founder also stales that he casts
type made of bismuth, tin, and lead, a statement ivhich, if correct, shows that

ENACTMENTS REGULATING TYPEFOUNDERS.

prior to this, letter-founding is not specifically mentioned as
DOUBTLESS,
being a distinct industry in any of the public documents. We are not on
that account, therefore, to assume either that the restrictive provisions of several

previous enactments which regulated printing did not apply to letter-founding,

or that, as a trade, it had no separate existence before that date. The divorce
of letter-founding from printing was undoubtedly a long and gradual process;
and although would be difficult, indeed, perhaps impossible, to fix any precise
it

date to the completion of that process, we may yet conclude from the fact that
certain decrees, which includes by name almost every other branch of industry
connected with printing, make no mention of letter-founding, whilst on the other
hand certain decrees name it, that between these two decrees printers ceased to
be their own letter-founders. It would be somewhat erroneous to imagine that
the StarChamber decree in any sense created letter-founding as a distinct trade.
Itspurpose, as in the case of printing, was to restrict the number of those who
were engaged in it, which had probably grown excessive. In a remarkable little
tract issued about this time the author, after very highly commending a decree
limiting the number of printers, goes on to say that notwithstanding this order
"
and stern methods, less than three years later printing and printers were grown
to monstrous excess and exhorbitant riot," and that the law was openly infringed
"
at all [Link] this monstrous excess and exhorbitant riot," it is more than likely
that the letter founders of the day figured. And it seems equally probable that
there were other founders, who were appointed by a much later decree as Un-
authorised founders, who had already been founding types for several years, with
or without the sanction of the authorities. In the disastrous times which quickly
followed, these Star Chamber founders were lost sight of. It is scarcely likely,
judging from the dismal account given above of the trade in times of peace, that
they were able, any of them, to keep a business together in times of civil war.
Nor is there any certainty that when the Commonwealth re-enacted the main
provisions of the Star Chamber Decree, that the founders then appointed were
the same who had been licensed previously. Mores, however, leads us to suppose
that they were, and for the purpose of enumerating the Oriental and learned
matrices which at this period were in use in this country, treats the founders as
one. There is, however, no reason for supposing that they worked in partnership

or that their businesses were in any way connected. But in certain undertakings
they were associated and various famous works have usually been regarded as
;

"
the product of the types of some, if not all, of their number.

By these or some
of them." shrewdly remarks Mores, we may suppose to have been cut the letter
"

particular performances we shall till we are better able to ascertain them, call their
labours by the name of the Polyglott Foundery which, as nearly as that work and

TYPOGRAPHICAL FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES.

as the fundamental principle that the essence of typography really

RECOGNISING
consists in the mobility of the types, we omit, as beyond the scope of our present
inquiry, the xylographic works which possibly preceded typography. Passing rapidly
in review the alleged stepping stones between the two arts, we however fail to see in
the frail evidence adduced as to the use of movable wooden perforated types anything
to justify the conclusion that the earliest printer printed books by that method. Such
types may have
only been cut experimentally, but the great practical difficulty of cutting
them square enough to be composed in a forme, and of producing works, the size and
character of many of them, is fatal to their claims. But with regard to the use of metal
types, types engraved on cast metal bodies, the evidence in their favour is of the most
unsatisfactory character, and combined with the practical difficulties of their production,
reduces their claim to the minimum. The marked difference of style and excellence in
the typography of certain of the earliest books leads us to accept the theory that two
schools of typography must have existed side by side in the infancy of the art, one a rude
school, which, not having yet the secret of the more perfect appliances of the inventors,
cast by some crude method, probably using moulds of sand or clay, in which
its letters

the entire type has been moulded. Such types may have possibly been perforated and
held together in lines by a wire. The suggestion that the earliest types were produced
by a system of polytype, and that the face of each letter, sawn off a plate resembling a
stereotype plate, was separately mounted on loose wooden shanks, we dismiss as purely
fanciful. Doubtless, during later years many devices were tried, but it would scarcely be
within the scope of this brief article to enter into what must be left for a future occasion.
Passing now to the processes adopted by the typographers of the more advanced school
we consider that in the first instance, although grasping the principle of the punch, the
matrix, and the adaptable mould, they may have made use of inferior appliances, by
forming their matrices in lead, from wooden or leaden punches or models, advancing
thence by degrees to the use of steel punches, copper matrices, and the bipartite iron
mould. We, moreover, again hold that the many variations observable in the works of
this school are due principally to uneven casting and wear and tear of the types. As to
the metal in which the type was cast, we also find mention made of almost every metal,
several of which, however, refer to the punches and matrices, leaving antimony, lead,
and tin, as the staple ingredients of the type metal. The types themselves are found in
most essential particulars, to be the same as those cast at a later date. We see, also,
evidence of perforated, mould-cast type, and, in the absence of a nick, a "shamfer" at
the foot, from which the jet appears to have been sawn or cut, instead of being broken.
We remark a great irregularity in the heights of different founts, the average of which
height is beyond any modern English standard. The accidental impression of a type in
some early German books proves that during the fifteenth century types were made
differing only in the two points of the want of a nick and the want of a jet-break from
the types of to-day. The quantity of types required by the earliest printers, we think,
would be small, since they appear in many cases to have printed only one page at a
time but the number of different sorts going to make up a fount would be very great,
;

by reason of the numerous contractions, double letters, and many abbreviations used.

Finally, we consider flint Hie art of Ictfer-fotiiitliiig rapidly readied maturity after Hie

PERHAPS no question has aroused a keener discussion in the history of
typography than its introduction. During nearly four centuries volumes
have been written, lives have been willingly spent, fortunes have been
wasted, nations have been stirred, and societies have been formed, while
a literature has been developed, to possibly find answer to the question :

when, where, and by whom was discovered the useful art of printing
books ? and yet even to-day the world is no nearer a conclusive answer
to the question than in the early days, indeed the dust of battle has but

increased, rather than lessened, the mysterious clouds that envelop the
problem, that we are almost tempted to take refuge in an agnosticism
that refuses to agree that printing had an inventor ; therefore, it would
not be suitable or profitable to encumber an investigation of the history
of typography which has relation to the types and typemaking of the
fifteenth century by attempts to discuss the vexed question of the art,

The Construction. The

driving head consist* of a metal block in which the
plunger and a powerful main spring are mounted. The case which contains the
perforating blade is assembled to trie driver, ensuring perfect rigidity.
The Operation. The plunger when at rest is above the height of type, and as
the impression is taken, its depression raises the perforating blades to a position
in which the cutters are slightly more than type high.

DEFINITION OF ART CONCISELY EXPLAINED

The word art is applied to so many things that it is very
difficult indeed to say shortly what it means, but in the
qualified expression Fine Art, its sphere is the beautiful
and, leaving out music, we have left only those arts that
appeal to our sense of the beautiful in the first instance

NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES OF OUR IMPROVED STEEL FURNITURE

For colour or blank work there is nothing in use that compares with it. Its great value
is in the time it saves and the greater accuracy it secures over every other description
of furniture. Weight for weight it goes nearly six times as far in forming space as metal
furniture, and can be used in one-half to one-sixth of the time. It is accurate in every
way to the thousandth part of an inch, not easily battered, and is certain to remain true

The correct models in illustration of proportion also

the uniformity of style of the main lines and contrast

These are two of the most pleasing, as well as most

PHOTOGRAPHIC IMPROVEMENT A BENEFIT TO ASTRONOMERS

A lecturer recently stated before the Royal Institution that dry-plate
photography had progressed far beyond anything that was expected of
it. and he also explained that It was the most potent aitcnt of research
and record that has been utilised by astronomers, as their records will
not be the written impression of dead men's views, but images of the
various objects of the heavens as recorded by themselves. H. Henry,
of Paris, succeeded in photographing the group of stars known as the
Pleldes. shewing a nebula of spiral form, which had never before been
brought under the ken of the human eye. and H. Paul and others have
been successful in photographing a ponton of the Milky Way. These

Dear Sirs,
The present edition of our Specimen Book is the first to be
issued from our new premises. We had long outgrown our historic
old house on the other side of Ghiswell Street, but for reasons
which will be easily understood, were reluctant to leave it. The
old home was one of the few remaining relics of eighteenth
century London, and was, moreover, endeared to us by very many
associations, historical and personal.
At 22 and 23 Ghiswell Street, William Caslon the First made
for himself an enduring name as the first of British Typefounders
thus winning fame not only for himself but for his country, which
by his success attained to the leading position in the art. His
type designs have never been surpassed. The original Caslon Old
Face is to-day a greater favourite than ever among connoisseurs,
and is invariably found in the finest examples of modern artistic
printing. The most eminent printers regard it as the basis of all
good work.
the many beautiful faces we have introduced in modern
Of
times our Cheltenham design, of which this series offers an
extraordinarily wide range of service, has been a dominant factor

To PROGRESSIVE CUSTOMERS,
United Kingdom and Dependencies.

Gentlemen,
If you are not already using our PATENT STEEL FURNITURE, we
beg leave to direct your attention to the innumerable advantages it
possesses, and the economy effected by purchasing it.
Our Steel Furniture is made of strips of steel, accurately
finished to measure, with notched ends. It is formed into hollow
squares, and used to fill spaces quickly in printing formes. The
steel is either 24 or 36 points wide, and is five-eighths of an inch
high. It is cut to various lengths, and every length measures an
exact number of ems, the notch being 12 points in depth.
Its great value is the time it saves and the greater accuracy
it secures over every other kind of furniture. Weight for weight
it goes six times as far in filling space as metal furniture, and
can be used in one-half to one-sixth of the time. It is accurate in
every way to the thousandth part of an inch. It is not only
practically perfect when new, but being of steel and not easily
battered, it is bound to remain accurate. It makes not only truer
formes but lighter formes, and it also saves room in the office.

Considering how much further it goes, it costs less than metal

furniture at the outset, and as it lasts practically for ever, it
is a constant saving of expense for material.

These points are fully endorsed by users, continual repeat

orders being placed by printers who have once introduced it and
proved its many advantages.
We remain, Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
H. W. CASLON 4 CO. LTD.

To MASTER PRINTERS,
Great Britain and Colonies.

Dear Sirs,
We beg to call your attention to the present issue of our
enlarged Specimen Book, which comprises many important
novelties in type-faces, borders, ornaments, and printers'
supplies generally.
All our jobbing faces are now cast with strict accuracy to
the Standard Point System, and we cannot too strongly urge on
our customers the importance of immediately adopting the
system to the fullest possible extent.
In all cases where the design of the letter offers no
obstacle, we cast series on the beards defined in the diagram
showing our Point Line System, but where rigid conformity
would involve the objectionable result of ascenders or
descenders overhanging the body, we prefer to moderate the
rigour of the scheme. In every instance, however, we
scrupulously preserve the principle of point beards, so that
our type will always line with any other point beard type on
the market .

It is plainly evident that the old bodies are practically

obsolete, even for book founts, and printers who disregard
this intimation may soon find themselves severely handicapped
by the impossibility of obtaining old-body sorts.
Confidently appealing for co-operation in making the
reform speedy, thorough, and complete,

We are, Dear Sirs,

Yours faithfully,
H. W. CASLON & CO. LTD.

RULE CABINETS.
This principle of storing material has been so well tested that we
have the utmost confidence in recommending its latest extension. Our
Brass Rule Cabinets, which have been in use for several years, in both
large and small offices, with the most satisfactory results, solve the pro-
blem of the storage of this indispensable material in a very simple way.
The Cabinets are designed to store rule in the same way as wood
or metal furniture, the different sizes coming flush to the front of the
Cabinet in their respective compartments. By this plan the risk of pie is
reduced to a minimum, and when a mixture of sizes occurs it can be
easily detected and put right. There are 58 compartments, each capable
of holding 100 pieces of IJ point rule; yet the Cabinet is easily portable,
and occupies not more than half the floor space required for an ordinary
rule case. In the Mitred Rule Cabinet there are compartments for 38
sizes mitred at both ends, and by combining the rule mitred at one end
only. 38 sizes, advancing by ens from 2 to 70 ems, can be obtained. It
1

is not advisable to attempt to keep sizes below 7 ems in the above posi-

tion, and therefore, the sizes from 2 to 61 ems are placed in a drawer at
the bottom of the Cabinet.

PRINTING MATERIALS.

TYPE CASES.
THE NEW TRIPLE-BOTTOM CASE WITH BRASS CLAMPS.
These cases are of unusual strength, owing to the use of a brass clamp over the corner of each box, and a long pin which
is driven through centre of each clamp and clinched, holding the partitions firmly to the bottom of the case, so that, with
fair usage they are practically indestructible.
These cases are made with special care and with selected materials, and are recommended to those who have learned
"
the lesson that the best is the cheapest."

PRICES.
Upper and Lower, 6/9 f* pair. Double, 4/6 each. Treble, 4/6 each.

For orders of 25 Pairs or 50 Cases, Uppers or Lowers, a reduction of 9d. per Pair will be made. For orders of not less than 25 Cases each
of any kind (other than Uppers or Lowers), or 3 dozen assorted, a reduction of 6d. per Case will be made.

For Illustrations of various Cases see pages 24 to 28. For complete Price List see page 28.

Notwithstanding the perfection to which Case-making has been brought, one fault in their construction has hitherto
never been remedied the tendency of the bottom to CRACK THROUGH SWELLING OR SHRINKING. In the NEW CASE
this difficulty is entirely overcome by a most ingenious contrivance, which the following illustrations will explain.

The Three-Ply Bottom.

Sectional view of bottom.

22
 H. w. CASLON & Co.. LIMITED.

The New Gate bottom CANNOT SHRINK, SWELL. OR CRACK, being made of three piece* of wood, the grain of which
i* crossed. There is no more possibility of this bottom cracking than there is of a board cracking crosswise against the grain.

LIGHTNESS AND STRENGTH COMBINED.

Sectional view, showing three-ply bottom, and grooves in side and bottom (See A A.) Note that the Slots in the side

rails, which receive the partitions, are grooved as far as the bottom groove only.

Sliding Friction Reduced.

This case, when placed in Cabinet or Case Rack. RESTS ON THE SIDE RAILS ONLY ; the grain of the wood in the

sides, and the slides on which they rest, run parallel, which ensures a free and easy motion.

Hitherto all cases have ridden on the bottoms against the grain of the slides. The least wear exposed the heads of the
nails which secured the bottom to the case, and a constant grinding was the result.

PRICES.
Upper and Lower, 6/9 v pair. Double. 4/6 each. Treble. 4/6 each.

For orders of 25 Pain or 50 Caie. Uppers or Lowers. reduction of 9d per Pair will be nude. For orders of not leu than 25 Cases each
of any kind (other than Uppers or Lowers), or 3 dozen assorted, a reduction of 6d. per Case will be made.

For Illustrations of varioua Cases see! pages 24 to 28. For complete Price List see page 31.

FEATURES WHICH NO OTHER CASE POSSESSES.

THE ONLY CASE fitted with a bottom which is not jointed.
THE ONLY CASE in which the bottom cannot crack, shrink, or swell.
THE ONLY CASE which slides on side rails, and does not scrape along on its bottom.
THE ONLY CASE from which the bottom cannot be torn off, because it is rabbeted into the side and front.

when wanted. It is also adaptable for ordinary figures, and would prove most useful for all kinds of tabular work.
There are many advantageous uses to which the small cases can be put, and being movable, they can be placed on
where they are required, convenient to the hand
the stone or frame just of the compositor. These cases are invaluable
for setting price lists, time tables, mathematical work, dictionaries, Sic. The diagrams below show a few of the practical
lays suitable for most classes of commercial work, but others will readily suggest themselves for special requirements.

NEW LAY CASES.

Registered No. 375,052.

The New Lay Upper Case has been designed to supply greater accommodation for the caps in body founts, thus making
better provision for the uneven proportion of caps and small caps. In the New
Lay Lower Case the boxes in constant use
have been brought to the right side, and the letters are so grouped that great economy of time results on all classes of work.
The spaces are also arranged at the front, thus accelerating justification. PRICE 6/9 per pair.

PIGEON-HOLE FOUNT CASE.

Model 101. Pigeon-Hole Fount Case. Polished Hardwood, with Boxes. 215.. Without Boxes. 115..

We beg to draw attention to our Pigcon-Hole Fount Case, which is adapted (or the reception of the boxes in which we
supply our spaces and quadrats. It is scarcely necessary to enumerate all the advantages of this fount case over the incon-
venient and unwieldy fount cases hitherto in use, for its superiority in every respect must be apparent to all practical printers.
It can be placed against a wall, or set back to back in the open space of an office.

It occupies little space, and is equally adapted to large or small founts.

It is much cleaner, as no dust can possibly get to the type.

It is more convenient, each sort having its own movable box.

It is much cheaper, holding as much as three ordinary fount cases.

We have been not a little interested and disturbed when watching
a careful hand trying to make
provision for a new supply of borders.
He probably selects a lower case for this purpose, in which he "lays"
his new possession with loving care, using a 3-point lead to separate
each line. Alas ! in another week the faces he stands up so carefully
will be in the fallen condition of a box of "e's," and those prized
designs will wear out their edges more, when tossed and tumbled in a
case, than under the pressure of a platen or cylinder machine.
These border Cabinets keep the most delicate types absolutely
free from injury. They are made in four sizes, holding 4, 10, 20, or 40
trays. These are useful sizes for easy handling, and are furnished with
thin strips of wood, notched at the ends to fit the grooves at the sides,
and will accommodate large or small borders. The trays lie in the
Cabinet at an inclined angle, and the contents can be kept in an
upright position without the least trouble. The life of a border must
be materially lengthened by this simple and satisfactory device.

IMPROVED REVERSIBLE GALLEY

Suitable for Machine Composition generally can also be used as an Ordinary ; Galley.
WITH OR WITHOUT QUOINS.

Maximum output is unquestionably the target of modern manufacturing concerns, but in no case is it so essential as in the
printing business, for when a printer invests several hundreds of pounds in a machine, that machine pays a better dividend
when the maximum output is obtained. The introduction of this Improved Reversible Galley has brought maximum output a
step nearer to the printer, so far as machine composition is concerned.
Originally the galley had a swivel end, but the new form has an end-piece (entirely removable) dropping into slotted sides.
These side slots are slightly curled, and the interlocking projections on the end-piece are correspondingly curled. By a kind of
rolling motion the end-piece is dropped in or lifted out. The curl forms the lock, and when the matter is resting against the
end piece it is impossible for itto come out.
In the first illustration is shown the end-piece removed, with guide bar
in position, the type appearing just as the caster
would deliver on to the galley. The galley having been filled with matter, the end-piece is replaced, a piece of furniture
it

of the right width inserted, and the patent quoins brought into play by a slight pressure of the fingers. All this takes but a few
"
seconds on or off the caster without the risk of pieing." To be able to remove the galley from the caster with the matter
the right way about, as in hand composition, is a decidedly time-saving advantage, and that is just what the removable end-piece
effects. The galley is put right on the caster and taken away and racked or proofed like a galley of hand-set matter.
In the second illustration the head section of the galley, "with matter thereon, is shown securely locked up.
The third cut illustrates the simple end-piece.

GALLEY CABINETS.
Galley Cabinet*, made in the moil substantial manner of thoroughly seasoned hardwood, are designed to carry an
immense weight safely. Cabinets of large capacity are specially valuable to book printers.

Each shelf of a large size Galley

Cabinet should be numbered. When
a galley is put on its shelf, after being
proofed, the number of the shelf
should be put on the proof slip
When proof is read the number on
it indicates where the type is, and
if. when
the galley is corrected, the
compositor finds the shelf corres-
ponding with the number of his proof
slip is occupied, he puts his galley
in the handiest vacant shelf, and

changes the number on the proof

slip, so that when proofs are handed
to be made up, he finds the galleys
without any loss of time.

different sized tins eight rows are thus provided for and can be
systematically arranged. The front is fitted with two doors, and
made to slide to further economise space, and the whole cabinet,

PATENT STEEL FURNITURE.

MANUFACTURED AT THE CASLON FOUNDRY.
Patent Steel Furniture is made of strips of steel, accurately finished to measure, with notched ends. It is formed into
hollow squares, and used to fill spaces quickly in printing formes. The steel is either 24 or 36 points wide, and is five-eighths
of an inch high. It is cut to various lengths, and every length measures an exact multiple of 2 points. The notch is 2 points
1 1

in depth, as shown in our illustration.

Style No. I. 24 Point Steel (One Notch).

Style No. 2. 36 Point Sieel (Two Notches).

Steel Furniture is valuable for all kinds of printing formes where there is space to be filled and accuracy is It
required.
can be used in every class of work, whether book or jobbing, blank or colour work.
For Colour or Blank Work there is nothing in use that compares with it.

Its great value is in the time it saves and the greater accuracy it secures over every other kind of furniture.
Weight for
weight it goes six times as far in filling space as metal furniture, and can be used in one-half to one-sixth of the time. It is
accurate in every way to the thousandth part of an inch. It is not only practically perfect when new. but being of steel and
not easily marred, it is bound to remain accurate. It makes not only truer formes but
lighter formes. There is no need of
springing the chase to get a safe lock-up. It saves weight on the
press and does not work up in the formes. It also saves

room in the office.

Considering how much further it goes, it costs less than metal furniture at the outset, and as it lasts practically for ever, it
isa constant saving of expense for material. Then it pays for itself over and over
again by the time and trouble it saves
and the accuracy it secure*. These points are fully endorsed by users, continual repeat orders being placed by printers
who have once introduced it and proved its many advantages.

HlNTS ON ITS USE.

To ensure square frames treat the opposite pieces alike at the corners

precaution necessary is to avoid bending the pieces

The only cross-bars ;

should always be used where the pressure of the quoins comes against the middle
of a long piece.
These founts furnish their own cross-bars. Each length is a cross-bar for the
next longer length.
The outside pieces should always be paired so as to bring the notches the same
way before placing them in a forme.
The steel should be wiped occasionally with an oiled rag.

CAST IRON FURNITURE.

The great advantages of Cart Iron Furniture are fully recognised, and this most useful addition to the Printing Office
can be supplied in quantities or convenient assortments at the prices quoted below.
This Furniture is manufactured to the American point standard and is guaranteed accurate to the limit of error. It
cannot be dented or bruised, will not expand in stereotyping, and cannot afterwards contract out of shape, but will keep
its proper form under the most severe locking-up or heating. Other important features of this Cast Iron Furniture are its
permanent value and lightness it is practically indestructible, and as compared with the ordinary metal furniture now in
;

use is 40 per cent, lighter in weight. Formes will lift with less locking-up, thus reducing the liability to spring. The
Furniture is machined on all sides, and is especially valuable for register and colour work on account of its rigidity
and accuracy.

WICKERSHAM QUOINS.
The improved Three-Disk-Cam Quoins are made by special machinery,
and can be relied upon for accuracy of form and finish. They are entirely of
STEEL, and Cams are hardened and tested to 600 Ibs. pressure.
The No. 1
Quoin is 2 in. long, {y in. wide, and tested to 400 Ibs. pressure.
The No. 2 Quoin, the popular size, is 2J in. long, and i} in. wide when
closed, tested to 600 Ibs. pressure.

The steel square Key, with rounded point, readily enters the square hole
in the Cam, and a safe lockage is obtained by one easy turn of the key.
When properly locked, the Quoin is guaranteed to hold, without slipping,
throughout the longest run on the fastest cylinder or platen machines.

THE EXPORT WICKERSHAM QUOINS.

These Quoins differ somewhat in construction, also in cost of production, from the No. 2 "Perfected" Wickersham Quoins,
but they are equally true and square every way. They have the machined Cam Tracks the milled and three-process hardened :

"
Three-Disk Cams are identical with the No. 2 Perfected" Quoin in size, and can be used in combination with same. Like all
the Wickersham Quoin Company's products, which are the result of long continued experiment and adaptation of specially
invented machinery, these Quoins are
ENTIRELY SAFE FOR USE ON ANY MACHINE.
Owing however, they are not guaranteed to equal the "Perfected" grade for durability under
to a difference in metals,
excessive key-pressure or hard usage, but they are a most excellent article at the price, and supply a demand where first
cost is of importance to the purchaser.
The Three-Disk Cams in all Wickersham Quoins, "Perfected" or Export are accurately graded and milled by special
machinery so that the periphery of each disk is identical with the other two and the cam-tracks are shaped to agree with and
;

retain, at every degree of rotation, rigid and even bearings on all three disks of the cams. Thus, positive holding power and
security are assured, at any expansion of the Quoins, regardless of all the banging and jostling of machine. When properly
locked, Wickersham Quoins will not loosen their grip except by the application of the key.
As fully proved by the Wickersham Quoin Company years ago, cam
quoins not uniformly accurate, with crude cams and cam-tracks, would be a
continual menace of danger for while they might hold, ordinarily, at one
;

point of expansion, they would be liable to loosen at another point, and

therefore come out of the forme, thereby causing damage to the type as well
as the machine, and much inconvenience to the printer.
The Wickersham Quoins are the only printers' Quoins it is safe to oil.
The should be applied to the inside only
oil it will add years to their life,
:

and they will not loosen or slip while in use, even on the fastest cylinder or
platen machine.

NOTE SPECIAL FEATURES.

The Corrugated Ribs which prevent slipping, and are found only on the Genuine Hempel's "Improved" Quoins ; also the
coiners are rounded, which prevents marring of stone and press bed.

ARGUMENT.
The old styleHempel Quoin was good, and until it was improved by Mr. Hempel himself, the best in existence; but he
wished to produce a Quoin that was perfection itself, and this he has accomplished in the "Improved."
"
The
novel features in the First, the Toothed Ribs and Lugs which, when properly locked, remove
Improved" Quoin are :

all anxiety as to their slipping

second, the extra width which gives a deeper hold to the key thereby preventing the slipping
;

and breaking of the keys and teeth of the Quoins, also giving more bearing surface on the furniture, thus making a perfect lock-
up and, finally, the rounded comers prevent the marring of the imposing stone and press bed.

THE POPULAR MORTON LOCK-UP.

This Device combines side or foot stick with Wickersham Quoins, all in one piece, and is the most complete of all forme
locks for printers. The foot, side and ends are squared, each at right-angle to the others, and the foot bearings are broad,
which construction, together with its weight, when placed directly against foot-clump or type, prevents all leanings or liftings of
lines, thus avoiding a difficulty common where wood furniture is used next to the type. All bowing of pages and looseness
and springing of forme is obviated, and a perfect register is assured.

Place the Morton Lock-Up directly against the foot-clump, at bottom, and against type, at side, when conditions permit ;

otherwise, against furniture or chase. Give key a twist, and the work is done. No time wasted no skew no spring no
; ; ;

quoin can drop out, and there is no care of keying-up quoins throughout the longest run on press.

Lock-Ups are made slightly under advertised lengths, to avoid end-bearings at foot of pages.

THE STEPHENS EXPANSION LOCK.

The need
of a positively safe, quick-acting, and durable Expanding Furniture, combined with absolutely reliable
Quoins
(that can be used, without possibility of collapse, in large chases containing small type-formes also for locking various sizes
;

of chases on beds of cylinder presses) has resulted in the production of this perfected implement which is winning the
approval
of every progressive printer. By its use, wood furniture, empty chases, old blocks, and all springy space-fillers and great
time-wasters are discarded completely.

Absolute Security assured by the everlasting

is

tenacity of two six-fold-grip by the two supports

clamps ;

upon which the two dogs rest while engaged and by the ;

wonderful power of the little three-disk cam, as demonstrated

by the millions of Wickersham Quoins in use.

Instantaneous Action is assured from the fact

that it expandsany point, from start to finish, by one
to

quick motion, while engagement of the upward-turned dog-

teeth with opposites is automatic.

Nicety of Construction (parts being planed

true and square, and fitted
accurately throughout), together
with its weight, positively prevents spring. Made of a
special steel, with hardened jaws, it is durable, unbreakable,
and of enormous power and resistance.

Conforms to square or bevel surfaces same as

Wickersham Quoin and Morton Lock-Up.

The above engraving represents our newest design in Imposing Surfaces for small printing office*. The pigeon holes
which are shown in the front are continued at the back. The sizes start at 2 ems, and advance by 2 ems to 46 ems, and then
1

by the following gradations 50, 54. 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 ems. These are all the sizes necessary in ordinary job work up to
demy folio. Where sizes beyond 100 ems are required, it is better to place them in horizontal pigeon holes. The above pigeon
holes will hold sufficient material for (say) six compositors, the number for which the surface will provide accommodation. The
box shown on the left-hand side is made to hold quoins or mixed quotations, etc. The racks beneath it hold 20 half upper
cases, 10 on each size; while the narrow rack running transversely between the case racks accommodates 13 single-column
galleys. At the opposite end there is provision (not shown in the engraving) for formes. The advantages of storing material
1 1

in this systematic manner are plainly apparent. Not only is economy of materials insured, but, what is still more important, the

orderly and compact arrangement facilitates imposition and locking up to such a degree as to effect a saving of fully 50 per
cent, as compared with the old vexatious, slovenly, and wasteful practice of heaping the supplies in a muddled mass in drawers
that are apt to stick most obstinately when the need for expedition is sorest.
For large printing offices we recommend that the sizes enumerated above should be carried over two imposing surfaces,
and should all be on the same side. The opposite side should be fitted with racks for double-cap formes. We have supplied
surfaces on this pattern to the great satisfaction of our customers. We are prepared to supply surfaces with any variety of
pigeon holes that our customers may require.

then fasten the flange on the top, cut the binders, turn them well back, or draw them carefully out altogether, and the spool is

ready for use. For each thickness of wire used, a detachable spool is required, because the binders of the coil being cut,

A DEPARTURE. In the manufacture of these models no
effort has been spared to perfect them in every detail and they
may truly be said to represent the highest achievement in the art
of numbering machine construction.
Instead of the customary iron or brass frames and brass
cases, all metal parts are made of Steel, contributing rigidity
and strength with minimum weight.

The wheels and ratchets are divided into equal tenths, thus

assuring absolute accuracy of movement.

DEPRESS1BLE WHEELS. "Drop ciphers" with their

springs and pins have been eliminated, and the wheels them-
selves are made depressible to provide the necessary spaces
preceding the unit wheels.

MODEL 48 has been specially designed for work where the numbering is irregular Model 4 Oa.
in character. For instance, it is quite possible to have a machine that will number in
duplicate, in triplicate and even quadruplicate, but even then all the ground is not
covered, and it is better policy to have a machine that is comparatively simple in con-
and which will take care of all classes of numbering, rather than a machine
struction
with a number of complicated movements and which can only be utilised to a very
limited extent.

MODEL 50 is designed for numbering which proceeds on regular lines. It is pro-

vided with three actions and will number consecutively, in duplicate, and repeat. These
changes are very easily affected by moving up or down the two little knobs which
appear at the sides of the front plate until the word representing the class of numbering
desired is shown in the window of the front plate (see illustration).

PRINTING AND NUMBERING. ONE OPERATION. By the use of the machine* which are described hereunder. the
second operation of numbering i* entirely eliminated.

YOUR ESTIMATE WINS. When preparing an estimate, the numbering which costs you nothing will frequently secure
the job, and what is more important, makes a customer.
SPECIALITIES MAKE MONEY. The great printing and stationery houses have all utilised some speciality as a foundation
upon which to build a business.
BE A SPECIALIST. A
small investment in these machines will place you in a position to compete with specially equipped
plants for printing and numbering bank cheques, orders, tags, omnibus, tram, and railway tickets, luggage labels, ballots, sales
books, ball, theatre and park seat tickets, money orders, pawn tickets, church collection envelopes, milk and fuel cheques, hotel
and restaurant bills, manifold work. etc.
GOOD NUMBERING. The quality of the numbering is limited only to the quality of your press work far superior to the
work of any treadle or hand numbering machine, for the modern press affords perfect ink distribution, uniform impressions and
accurate register.
MONEY SAVED. -You would save the transportation charges, waste and delays unavoidable when sending jobs away to
be numbered, and complete them under your own supervision without exposing the name of your customers.
MONEY MADE. Your investment is quickly returned, directly and indirectly. Two or three fair-sized jobs represent its

entire cost, and the loss or gain of one customer means much more.

QUALITY GUARANTEED. This entire line is strictly high-grade. Only the best materials and the highest order of
mechanical employed in their construction. Every machine is
skill are fully guaranteed and with ordinary care will do abso-

lutely correct numbering and give entirely satisfactory service for many years.

CHANDLER AND PRICE POWER PAPER CUTTERS.

FINEST MATERIALS. SIMPLE IN CONSTRUCTION.
STRONGLY MADE. EXCELLENT WORKMANSHIP. SUPERIOR FINISH.

We have profited by the marked success of our lever paper cutter and designed our new power cutter along the same lines.
It is very simple in construction, having no extra parts, and all parts as nearly interchangeable as can be made. Every cutter
is built as perfectly as experience and special machinery can accomplish, and thoroughly tested before it leaves the factory.
"
A "
deep throat and ample table permit the printer to cut thick jogs of large-sized sheets. We claim there is less danger
in operating than with any other power cutter, as the controller knob must be pulled forward and then given a quarter turn
before clutch engages with gear and knife descends. It never repeats, as the mechanism is so arranged that knife cannot

fall, thereby preventing possibility of accident.

imiiliimmi

EXHIBITED AT OUR MODEL PRINTING OFFICE, CHISWELL STREET, LONDON, E.G.

The power mechanism comprises the worm and gear drive, the most powerful known in mechanics. Either belt or motor
may be used to furnish power. Worm is keyed to worm-shaft, which ends in belt wheel. Worm drives gear-wheel, so that
this terrific power is back of the knife when operator throws in the clutch. Worm-wheel runs in oil, being thus abundantly,
lubricated at all times, besides making the cutter noiseless and easy running.
Knife is made of fine steel and is readily adjustable. Knife bar is hand-fitted to housings, which are 3 inches deep
to insure the knife bar against any deflection caused by wear.

Clamping is easy by reason of extra large hand-wheel, and clamp fingers have a broad surface to avoid creasing of
stock. Back gauge and clamp interlock, clamping as narrow as three-quarter of an inch. All gauges are accurately squared
with the knife, and back gauge extends within one inch of side gauge, so small stock cannot slide by.

THE CHANDLER AND PRICE LEVER PAPER CUTTER.

The object aimed at when these cutters were first manufactured, was
to accomplish everything possible on a lever cutter with the fewest parts
and utmost simplicity of mechanism. Time and success in selling have
demonstrated that we succeeded. The Chandler and Price Lever Paper
Cutters are from two hundred to three hundred pounds heavier than other
makes of cutters of same sizes, this extra metal being so distributed as to
withstand strains. The legs, braces, table, and knife bar, being of very
heavy pattern, do not spring under the deepest cuts. Housings 2 to 3 inches
deep ensure the knife bar against deflection by wear, and make gibs, set
screws, and other makeshifts unnecessary. A
deep throat and ample table
permit handling paper in quantity. Being perfectly counterbalanced it works
quickly and with the minimum of effort. The back gauge and clamp interlock,
clamping as narrow as five-eighths inch. The fingers of the clamp have a
broad surface to avoid creasing the stock. All gauges are accurately squared
with the knife. The back gauge extends to within one inch of the side
gauge, and is divided and adjustable for book trimming or squaring small
work. All parts are strictly interchangeable, and accurately fitting replace-
ments may be ordered by number.

CHANDLER & PRICE NEW SERIES PRESSES.

THE NEW SERIES PRESS is designed along approved scientific lines. The frames are box patterns with deep flanges,
which, together with the proper distribution of metal, makes them exceedingly strong and rigid. The Roller Saddle rods and
springs are enclosed in the Roller Frames, which are smooth outside and have no projections to catch and hold dirt. Both the
Main Gear and Small Head and Lock Cam are heavier and have broader faces, insuring long life and the ability to stand up
under the heaviest strain of fine forme printing. Upon the larger sizes, a hardened steel segment is inserted inside the Gear in
the raceway of the Cam where the wear is greatest, making the gear wheel practically non-wearable. Gear Guard prevents A
the soiling of paper by accidental contact with top of the Gear. The Side Arms are of steel, forged flat, and are provided with
oil grooves and oil [Link] Fly Wheel is smaller and has straight spokes and heavy rim, and is properly proportioned to
give the best balance. The Shafts are large, made of steel, and are ground true, thus reducing friction to its lowest terms, and
ensuring smooth, quiet running.
All parts are accurately made to standard gauges, and are commercially interchangeable.

THE ANGLO-AMERICAN "ARAB" PLATEN MACHINE.

THE BEST ALL-ROUND PLATEN MACHINE IN THE MARKET.
The ARAB Machine is almost noiseless in working ; everything in it is fitted to make it so. There is but one pair of cog

wheels machine, and the teeth of these are cut from the solid by a patent automatic tooth-cutting machine. The pair of
in the

wheels (the Arab wheel and pinion) are afterwards geared together, and slightly ground with powdered emery, to ensure
perfect fitting of the teeth and silence when running.
The ARAB may be safely run at any speed to which the operator can feed. The daily output of the average platen
machine boy is at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 per

hour, without having recourse to the impression

throw-off in order to prevent misprints on
sheets that have been mislaid through attempt-

The Platen, by our method of working, ha* a long "dwell" during the impression, which very considerably reduce* the
wear on the type and machine. An additional "dwell" ii alto provided for feeding, which malcei this quite a simple and cafe
operation.
Platen and Type Bed are both carefully machined, and afterward* at carefully hand-tcraped perfectly level, the retult
being a contiderable saving in the time required for making-ready.
Ink Duct, the handiest and mott serviceable. Row of ink regulated by a tingle screw. Can be cleaned and ink changed
in lest time than any other.

Impression Lever or Striker is on the left-hand side, and handy for operator. Impression can be thrown off or on instan-

taneously at any position of the Platen.

Impression is adjusted accurately and positively in a few seconds by merely turning a screw.
Swivel Feed Gauges superseding paste and reglet. Invaluable for quick and accurate working.
Friskets are readily adjusted, and can be laid on the work at any position of the Platen.
Blanket Holder of cylinder machine type, more reliable than clips and without their disadvantages.
Leather Bearers keep Rollers revolving, giving improved inking and preventing rule-cutting.
Brake connected with Belt Fork, stopping the machine instantly.

Gearing all accurately cut from the solid.

Side Rods forged from single bar of steel without weld.

Fly Wheel and Pulleys all solid, no arms or projecting keys to cause accidents.

It it of far greater utility for a Platen Machine than any other Platen
Ink Duct yet introduced.
It can be cleaned, and the colour of ink changed, in lest time than any

other ttyle of ink duct.

While the machine is in motion the ink supply can be cut off. Should
a different colour of ink to that in the duct be required for a short run, it is
not necessary to clean up the duct in order to use that colour the dis- ;

tributing roller has simply to be placed in position against the lever arm,
and the connection between the duct and disc it severed.
When dispatching, each ARAB Machine is packed in parts, and not built ready for use. because there is less risk of
breakage in transit, and much less trouble in getting it into the majority of offices where there is not a 10 cwt. crane.

the adoption of the
By PERFECT SAFETY GUARD, the feeding of Platen Machines is made absolutely safe and
free from the fear of Accident, thereby materially increasing the output of the Machine by the confidence felt by the
operator, and by obviating the necessity for the hitherto too frequent throwing off the impression, or stopping the machine
caused by irregular feeding.

The petition of the Guard immediately preceding the taking of the Represents the hand as having been removed by the Guard after
impression, the hand of the operator being on the return journey. having been left too long between the platen and type bed.

ADVANTAGES OF THE "PERFECT" SAFETY GUARD.

1. Impossibility of the hand being trapped between the Platen and the Type Bed.
2. Does not interfere with the Feeding or Taking-off the sheets.
3. Gives operator more confidence to run the machine to a greater speed than ordinary.

SPECIAL FEATURE.
The arm being hinged, will lift up with the slightest finger-touch underneath, so that the Feeder is entirely free from
danger of being trapped in case he should get his hand underneath the lifting bar.

The Latest in Platen Feed Gauges.

THE " COMPRESS "

Adjustable Feed Gauge for Platen Machines.

Offers an ingenious mechanical device designed to facilitate lay-on and to absolutely ensure register.

With Lever Adjustment. With Rubber Adjustment.

ADJUSTMENT is SIMPLICITY ITSELF. EQUALLY ADAPTED FOR PAPER OR BOARD.

No PART OF GAUGE CAN PULL OUT DURING PRINTING READILY FIXED IN POSITION.

THE "COMPRESS"
Is a new patent lay gauge of easy adjustment controlled by scale.
No shifting, even when laying on the thickest paper or board.
Absolute register ensured.
The ideal gauge for three-colour work.
No possibility of sheets being pushed between gauge and its holder ; no danger of tongue pulling
out during printing.

The spring action of tongue facilitates rapid lay-on.

A broad base enables secure and quick attachment.
The gauge is durable, compact, pleasing.

Method of Use.
Secure the gauge with strong paste on to the bed, first bringing the line on the slide true with the centre mark on the scale
on the lower part. Any alteration of the gauge forward or backwards may be readily made. The lower tongue is covered by
the top sheet, or simply pressed into that sheet. To facilitate laying on, the top guide tongue can be pulled out according to
the width allowed by the platen bed until close to the forme impression without any risk of injuring type. The lever simulta-
neously secures both the slide and the guide tongue.
Protect the gauge by filling out the surrounding paper to a reasonable height. The flanges of the slide should be kept
free from the adhesive. Should the tension become slack, a half turn of the nut will put it in order. If the gauge be taken to
pieces great care must be taken to put it together again correctly. With careful handling the gauge possesses almost unlimi-
ted durability.

"The British Printer," Vol. XXV, No. 145, April, 1912, says :

"We have tested a new feed gauge for platen machines" [The "Compress" Adjustable Feed Gauge] "... and find this

decidedly effective in use. As a lay gauge it well warrants the attention of colour printers, for it facilitates not only rapid
laying on but the closest of register. The illustrations herewith show the two kinds made. One is adjusted by a lever, the

other by a rubber fitting. The device is simple in construction and operation, and reasonable in price. Samples should be
obtained for individual tests."

ROBINSON'S "HR" GAS ENGINES.

HORACE ROBINSON'S PATENTS.

We have much pleasure in putting the following particular* of these engines before our customers and other users of
power.
Oblique Type.
The great simplicity of the engine can be seen at a glance ; it has no separate tank for water, the engine bed forming
the tank.
This patent water base construction is much liked by our customers, as it saves space, avoids troublesome pipe joints, and
the water acts as ballast and increases the steadiness of the engine, and heavy foundations are unnecessary. The patent valve
motion, it will be seen, is very direct, and definite, and it supersedes and does away with a mass of cams, rocking levers,
springs, and other complications.
The
success the engine has attained is also partly due to the patent valve construction.
patent ignition tube attachment saves much time and trouble in attaching a new ignition tube. The patent governors
The
have thorough control of the engine's speed. The cranks are turned to template, both ends being alike, and either end will take
the fly-wheel.
The direction of rotation of the engine can be reversed by shifting the eccentric.
It will be seen that these engines are free from complication, and the attention given to design makes it a simple matter to

get to all parts of them these being easy of access and of plain and simple form, the cleaning of the engines is greatly facili-
;

tated, the efficiency and endurance are increased, and the cost of maintenance or renewal of any part is diminished.

Oblique Type Engine. Showing Exhaust Side.

Horizontal Type.
As our oblique type of engine, it has been our special care to reduce working parts to a minimum, thus eliminating the
in
amount of wear and tear which manifests itself in more complicated engines. The principle of the engine is the same as our
oblique type, but in some cases our customers prefer the horizontal type, notwithstanding the fact that a separate water tank
is required.
These engines are fitted throughout only from the best obtainable materials and the workmanship is of the highest
standard.

STEREO-MOUNTING FURNITURE.
Many devices for mounting Stereotype plates have been invented and tried with more or less success, the objections to
them generally being that they lack simplicity, are too complicated for rapid and easy adjustment, and are consequently too
expensive. It is some years since we introduced a new system, based on the old, for mounting Stereo blocks, but we have
never yet seen anything to surpass it for simplicity, ready and effective adjustment, or cheapness. As this new adaptation
of an old principle has never been prominently put before the trade, we refer our readers to the following illustrations,
showing method of using the Patent Stereo-mounting Blocks and Furniture.

Figure I shows a page made up and justified to the required size of the plate to be mounted, A representing the blocks
and furniture, and B the brass catches, made of 3-point brass rule.

Figure 2 shows the plate to be mounted, with the usual bevelled edges.

Figure 3 shows the mounted plate fixed in position by the brass catches, more or fewer of which can be used, as required,
and they can be put to any part of the plate.

Fig. 3.

The original blocks were cast with holes in them, into which brass catches of no definite measurement or thickness were
clumsily inserted. In the new
blocks these holes are discarded, and the grip of the catch on the block, as well as on the plate,
is secured by the bevel on the lower edges of the blocks into which the brass catches fit.

This contrivance will be best understood by reference to a sectional view, given in Figure 4, of a block and catches.

The advantages claimed for this system of Stereotype-mounting are many, not the least among them being that the blocks
are much lighter, and have no holes in them for catches but the new furniture being precisely the same in size as the old,
:

those who have old blocks in stock can use the latter for insides. The new catches are all 3-point in thickness, and can
be adjusted to any part of the plate, and kept in one place, if so desired, with 3-point leads. They are also much thinner
than the old catches, and therefore are not so liable to take the ink and soil the sheets when on the machine. But the most
important advantage of all is that the new blocks and catches are much cheaper.

These beds are accurately machined from solid castings, are practically indestructible, and, unlike wood, will not warp
or twist. They can be made (or use with any thickness of block and to fit the bed of any machine. The larger sizes are made
in sections, and are therefore easily handled. All beds are scored with Pica Squares to facilitate adjustment of Blocks, and in
Sectional Beds the grooves are continuous across the sections.

THE UNIVERSAL MACHINE FOR PRINTERS.

MANY MACHINES IN ONE.

The use of blocks having become universal, Messrs. Caslon were convinced of the widespread demand for a machine that
"
should be capable of dealing with them rapidly and adequately; and in devising and perfecting the Universal" they have
availed themselves freely of the many practical suggestions derived from the needs and experiences of their clients.

The aim in introducing the "Universal" is to place at the disposal of printers a machine that, while moderate in price,
will prove invaluable to the block printer. Every printer has felt the want of efficient tools for performing the various operations
that blocks and plates demand. The "Universal" supplies him with a complete equipment for mounting, finishing, or modifying
every kind of block, and it is capable of dealing with curved as well as flat plates.

" " " "

The Universal will render exactly type-high every variety of block.
" "
The Universal saves at least half the time necessarily spent in imposing and making ready imperfectly finished blocks.
" "
The Universal is the only apparatus in which every operation can be regulated strictly in accordance with the
Point System of measurement.

Some of the services the machine is

capable of rendering.
It engrave on wood or metal by means of the several special
will
tools,which, by means of the two guiding handles, are controlled with
absolute precision.
It will repair blocks or plates repair, re-make, or modify the bevels
;

of mounted blocks, from which it is often necessary to detach the

plates in order to make-ready for printing and will pierce rivet holes
;

without injuring the bevels.

It supersedes all the block-making and plate-finishing tools employed
in the foundry and the packers' room.
It will convert linotype slugs into leads or metal furniture, and will

repair, cut, trim, or render true all kinds of material (except, of course,
iron).
It renders the making of corrections in machine-cast lines or stereo

plates as easy as if the matter were movable.

THE UNIVERSAL MACHINE

comprises the following tools for shaping and finishing
blocks of every kind up to 35 X 35cm.

Circular Saws, differently tempered and set for cutting wood and
the various metals zinc, copper, and brass. The elliptical table
enables sawing at various angles. An automatic gauge-rule justi-
fier regulates the cutting to exac5t point measurements and ;

excisions or grooves can be cut to exadt points up to 48 by 48

millimetres.
The Jig-saw and Piercer forms voids and mortices in every kind of
block or plate.

for the insertion of type, etc., and the incision may be either straight
or curved.
The Side Trimmer willrender any kind of block or plate exactly
rectangular, or of any geometrical shape, to point measurement.
The Cutter for Narrow Blocks or Plates trims to exact point size
running titles or headlines, linotype slugs, initials, ornaments, etc.,
and converts linotype slugs to leads or quadrats.
The Bevelling or Chamfering Tool makes every kind of bevel in
every kind of block or plate, with mechanical adjustment to
correct points.
The Thicknessing and Smoothing Plane works on the backs of blocks
and plates of all kinds, rendering them precisely true, and pro-
ducing an exactly even surface on wood or metal.

The change of tools is effected in a few minutes,

A few hours practice will enable any intelligent man to produce excellent work on this machine.

The "Universal" machine is the outcome of close observation and wide practical experience, and it meets a demand that with
enormously increased use of illustrations, has become imperative.

THE INTERTYPE COMPOSING MACHINE.

FOR SPEED. QUALITY. EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

Before acquiring the sole agency for the Intertype in the British lle and India. Mesri. Cation convinced themselves
by personal investigation that this it the most efficient and the most economical composing machine in existence. Its instant
and complete success in America and elsewhere abroad is unequivocal proof of its excellence. Although its manufacture
was begun recently, over five hundred Inlertype machines were sold during the first year, while at the present time the
sales amount to about sixty-five machines a month.

Clearly there must be very strong reasons for so swift and so signal a success. How comes it that within so short a
period the Intertype has established itself as a prime favourite, and is now found at work in almost every State in the Union.
and in such important offices as those of the "New York World." the "New York Time*," the "Chicago Tribune." the
"Detroit Journal, the "Cleveland Leader," and of many other great daily newspapers? It is simply because business
men realise immediately that the Intertype fulfils in the highest degree the essential requirements of quality, reliability,
speed and economy. Write for descriptive booklet and full particulars to our London Address. 82/3 Chiswell Street. 1C.

THE INTERTYPE COMPOSING MACHINE.

Model "A"

The Intertype embodies all the advantages of present-day composing machines with many additional improvements.
All principal operations are performed in exactly the same manner as on the Linotype, and any Linotype operator will be
equally as competent to handle an Intertype as a Linotype. The improvements consist in facilities for speedy change of
face,body and measure, rendering the machine adaptable for all classes of work, and simplifications of the various matrix
handling mechanisms, which prevent injury to the matrices and enable the Intertype to produce the highest quality of work.
This delicious ease of working, unrivalled speed, and unequalled quality of product result from the superior build of the
machine, together with the numerous improvements it contains, some of which we describe hereafter.

ja SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE INTERTYPE.

The Magazine. The Intertype magazine embodies many
important improvements. The magazine supporting frame is
hinged so that it can be quickly swung into the most convenient
position for removing the magazine. This is at the rear of the
machine, where damage to the keyboard is impossible. The
action of swinging back the magazine automatically locks the
matrices in the magazine, and also locks the keyboard. When
thenew magazine is put into position it releases the matrices
and keyboard ready for operation. No skill is required, and
no accidents can occur, because the operator failed to do the
proper thing before removing the magazine. The distributor
bar and channel entrance have been so spaced that the largest
characters have relatively as much space as the smallest ones.
It is obvious that a lower case "i" does not require as much

space as a cap "W," and we have taken this fact into con-
sideration, thus greatly improving the distributing mechanism.
The whole process of changing the magazine is accomplished
in the remarkably short time of twenty seconds.

The Escapement. The new and improved escapement

allows of greater speed without danger of transposition. It is
an integral part of the magazine, is compact, positive in action,
and having no separate sections, the magazine channels are
continuous, and there is nothing to get out of register. As the
escapement is changed whenever the magazine is changed,
frequent removal of the escapement is avoided. One-piece
pawls of steel, mounted each in its own bearing, are actuated
positively by the rods, and form a most compact and durable
escapement. These pawls can be instantly removed and re-
placed individually. The keyboard and keyboard cams are of
the familiar, satisfactory and interchangeable type.

The Second Elevator Guide. Improvements have been

made at all points where matrices are transferred, so that wear
and injury With this object a
to matrices is greatly reduced.
new second elevator guide post has been designed. This post
guides the second elevator in such a way that the line of
matrices is lifted perpendicularly from the intermediate channel,
thus preventing wear on their lugs. If for any reason the
machine is backed up so that the second elevator, bearing a
line of matrices, returns to the intermediate channel, the
matrices slip in without injury. This perpendicular lift saves
considerable wear on the matrix combinations and the second
elevator bar teeth, by preventing the jerky motion of the second
The Improved Escapement. elevator so frequently caused by the Linotype guide post.

The Gas Governor. Another feature adopted on the Intertype is the new gas governor, which is distinctly superior
ordinary mercury governor. The temperature of the metal in the pot actuates the new governor not the
to the heat under
the mouthpiece. The flow of gas to the mouthpiece remains constant, the governor regulating only the heat under the pot.
The device is simple, rigid, and out of the way. A
short beam is attached at one end to the valve and at the other to
a brass rod projecting through the crucible cover into the molten metal. This beam is pivoted near the end attached to
the brass rod. When the metal becomes too hot the brass rod expands and moves the beam, which closes the valve, and
vice versa as the metal cools. The governor also has a convenient thumb screw adjustment.

THE INTERTYPE COMPOSING MACHINE.

Model "A"
The Mould. The Intertype mould and mould disc are new and distinctly superior to anything previously marketed.
To enable the operator to change the mould quickly, accurately and easily, themould cap is held in place by two bolts
pivoted at the bottom so that when the nut at the lop is slightly loosened they can be swung back and the cap instantly
removed. The liners are flat so that injury to them is practically impossible, and the mould is easily accessible (or cleaning.

The Back Rail.

The Mould.

The Back Rail. In order to support the matrices as they are being transferred from the second elevator the back rail
of the distributing box has been extended. This prevents trouble ifthe teeth on the second elevator bar are broken.

Vice Jaw Adjustment. The illustration below shows the new device for adjusting the left hand vice jaw. Its rigid
construction and ease of operation will appeal at once to both machinists and operators, and the time-saving effected by
its use will be equally pleasing to the purchaser. The attachment enables the operator to make vice jaw changes quickly
and accurately, without leaving his seat. This factor is particularly valuable in offices handling a large amount of catalogue
and similar work, requiring numerous run-arounds and quick changes. The jaw is set by simply turning the dial to the

point indicating the measure desired.

The Vice Jaw.

The Knife Block.
The Knife Block. The Intertype knife block is correct in principle, efficient, and durable. There are twenty-five
standard settings for the knife, to trim slugs from five to forty-eight points thick. These settings are absolutely accurate
and permanent, and cannot be tampered with. The block is simple and very rigid in construction, and the knives are
always parallel. Changes are made by pushing the pin into the proper hole, as indicated by the point scale, and moving
the lever at the left until the pin slips into the corresponding hole in the knife slide. The knife block can be equipped with
a micrometer attachment (not shown in the illustration) for setting the knives to trim bastard slugs of any thickness.

THE INTERTYPE COMPOSING MACHINE.

Model "A"
The Assembler Every operator who has tested the Intertype assembler slide is enthusiastic in its praise. The
Slide.
illustration showssimplicity, but only actual use can fully demonstrate its superiority. Changes of measure are quickly
its

made, and when once set the slide can never slip and allow tight lines to get through without the operator's knowledge.
The hard fibre brake shoes are square, so that when one side of a shoe becomes slightly worn it can be turned around to
present a new surface to the slide. The brake release
is convenient, and the operator can reach it while

reading copy, without danger of getting his fingers

caught by the matrix delivery belt. The action of the
slide is smooth and uniform, which makes for the

elimination of transpositions and for high speed.

The Line Delivery Carriage. To prevent the

occasional breaking of spacebands as the carriage
The Assembler Slide. returns to its position, the line delivery carriage has
been decidedly improved. The left hand finger is
made in two pieces, hinged in the middle and held
in place by a spring. The wearing surfaces of the carriage are bronze shoes. These are well separated,
to prevent cramping. The release is also improved, the releasing wire being eliminated and a more
substantial and satisfactory arrangement substituted in its place. This is another improvement which
appeals to operators and machinists alike because of its convenience and excellent construction.

Belt Assembler Drive and Sorts Stacker. The improved belt drive for the assembling mechanism, which eliminates
the noisy and unsatisfactory gears used on Linotypes, enables the operator to stop the star wheel instantly, by means of
a noiseless belt shifter, without reaching far over to the right of the machine to pull out a dangerous clutch. This round
belt assembler drive can be applied to single-magazine Linotypes, in connection with the assembling mechanism. The
automatic sorts stacker, too, can be applied to single-magazine Linotypes, but only in connection with the round belt assembler
drive and assembling mechanism. One of these stackers will pay for itself in a very short time, by saving the operator's time,
preventing continual losses of sorts matrices, and eliminating wear and injury caused by their dropping into a sorts box.
The Motor. -The geared type of motor, which years of experience have proven most satisfactory, is the one adopted
for the Intertype. The equipment consists of a one-third horsepower Westinghouse motor, a hard fibre pinion, a motor
support, and a gear wheel. The motor support is of such design that it can be readily mounted on either the Intertype
or Linotype machines, by replacing one cap screw with a longer screw furnished as part of the equipment. This motor
is made to run on a 15 or 230-volt direct current;
1 10 or 220- volt, 50 or 60-cycle alternating current, on one leg of a 2 or
1

3-phase circuit, or on a single-phase circuit. In ordering, state whether direct or alternating current, and the voltage if ;

alternating current, state also the number of cycles.

Supplies. It is of the utmost importance that matrices, spacebands

and other supply parts should be made right. These parts are the most
essential in a Composing Machine, and if they are not perfect in every
way, the product cannot be satisfactory. It is realized that the supplies on
the Intertype must not only be perfect in themselves, but also perfect as
to their interchangeability with those on existing machines. In addition to
be subjected to far closer scrutiny than usual,
this the supplies will at first
and earnestly requested that they should be put to the severest test,
it is

to prove their efficiency and reliability. The matrices are made of the best
hard brass obtainable, so as to insure long life. They are put through fifty-
machines designed by the only men who have
five different operations, in
ever successfully designed such machines. They are carefully inspected
aftereach operation, and all not perfect are rejected. Nothing is shirked,
and no labour or expense that could produce better matrices is omitted.
All the supply parts are made with the same care, and will prove them-
selves superior to other supplies now manufactured.

In the design and construction of this machine the manufacturers have

taken every precaution, and indeed have exercised the most scrupulous
care, to avoid any infringement of existing patents and before accepting
;

the Intertype agency for the British Isles and India Messrs. Caslon have
taken the utmost care to assure themselves that there has been no infringe-
ment \vhatever but, nevertheless, they deem it advisable to state that they
; Matrices and Spaceband.
are prepared in every instance to enter into a legal bond indemnifying the
purchaser against all liability to loss in respect of any possible claims for infringement and, if desired, the agents will
;

further agree to take back the machine and refund the money. It will therefore be seen that the purchaser of the Intertype

incurs no risk whatever in adopting this machine. Printers are cordially invited to come and see it at work, either at
82 Chiswell Street, London, E.C., or 1 1 New Brown Street, Manchester. When you have seen it you will want to buy it.
