The Linotype Machine | 1886 AD
Who is credited with the invention of the typewriter?
Christopher Sholes
What is a "stenographer"? A person skilled in transcription of speech
Christopher Sholes
What is a "stenographer"? A person skilled in transcription of speech
Post an example of Shole's typewriter.
Why did Sholes s0end a prototype of his typewriter to Clephane?
Because he realized that stenographers would be among the first and most important users. Clephane was one.
After the typewriter began production, why did Clephane pursue another machine?
Because he realized that it took too long to typeset and copy the words with the typewriter. He made an invention that would bridge the gap between the typewriter and the printed page.
Who spent a year redesigning Clephane's typesetting machine?
Ottmar Mergenthaler helped them.What is meant by "typesetting"?
Arranging or generating the type for a piece of text to be printed.

Post an example of Linotype Machine.
How does the Linotype Machine differ from the typewriter?
The Linotype Machine allowed type to be set mechanically rather than by hand. It produced a solid line of type by casting hot lead into a series of molds that corresponded to individual letters. The name comes from the fact that it produces an entire line of metal type at once.
How did this machine change the newspaper industry?
It changed radically making it possible for a small number of operators to set type for more pages on a daily basis.

Post an example of a Linotype keyboard.
How did the keyboard of the Linotype Machine differ from keyboards that we use today?
It had a 90-character keyboard and there was no shift key, so the uppercase letters had separate keys from lowercase letters. Also, the arrangement of keys was based on letter frequency. The keyboard had the same alphabet arrangement twice. On the left, the black keys were lowercase. On the right, the white keys were uppercase. The blue keys in the middle were for punctuation, digits, small capital letters, and fixed width spaces.

Post an example of a Linotype slug.
What is a slug?
The machine assembled matrices or molds for the letter forms. The assembled line of type is then cast as a single piece, called a slug. The process allowed for faster typesetting and composition than by hand.Post an example of a person operating a Linotype Machine. Why is the Linotype Machine the greatest advanced in printing since movable type?
