One of the moat marvellous machines human ingenuity ever planned is the linutype. All the operator has to do is to keep pegging away at a set of keys like thuse of an ordinary typewriter. Every tap releases and drops the mould of a letter, a punctuation mark or a space. When enough of the moulds of letters, dots and dashes have been dropped to form a line, a jet of molten metal is squirted in. and a line of fcype is the result* 1 The operator taps away without intermission, the machine goes on at its work, ianking up lines of moulds, pouring metal in them, putting each mould back into its own bin ana trimming the rough edges of the line of type and putting it in its place in the growing column. It is this intelligent componnd of " wheels and levers which renders possible standard books woll printed and bound in cloth at sixpeuce per volume with which Thomson and Seattle are astonishing tho reading public.
