Allowance for Old Type and other Metals

Old type (clean and unmixed with other metals), electrotypes, leads and brass, delivered at foundry free, will be taken at current prices in even exchange for new type or printing material.

Customers sending in old metal are requested to mark their names on all packages, and to forward by mail a shipping receipt or bill of lading, with the net weight of each kind of mate- rial, as soon as shipment is made. Compliance with this request will aid in identifying ship- ments, and prevent errors. Ship as " old metal " to secure low freight rate.

SPECIAL NOTICE. Zinc plates, metal containing zinc, or type and other plates mixed with zinc plates, and stereotype plates, will not be received at any price. Type, electrotype plates, leads and brass, must be packed separately, as the value of each differs.

AMERICAN TYPE FOUNDERS CO.

Type Standards

The following is the standard adopted by the International Ty- pographical Union. The basis of measurement is the lower-case al- phabet, from a to z inclusive, and the ems used are the same body as the type measured :

How to Estimate

To ascertain the quantity of body type required for a publica- tion, find the number of square inches and divide the same by four, and the quotient will be the approximate weight of type re- quired ; but, as it is impossible to set the cases entirely clear, it is necessary to add 25 per cent, to the weight of large fonts, and 33^ per cent, to small fonts, to allow for dead letter.

Number of Ems in 0ne Pound of Type

Two by two inches (four square inches) solid type weighs approximately one pound.

Small Fonts of Porson Greek

The want of a small font of Greek type is often felt in printing offices. To meet this need, the American Type Founders Company has decided to put up small and complete assortments (to include all the characters used in the largest

fonts of Porson Greek), together with a case for the same of its own devising. No variations in the assort- ment or weight of these small fonts wall be made. See spec- imens for prices. Regular fonts of 50 pounds and upwards will be furnished at

Plan of Patented dreek Case, each, $2.00. Regular Greek Cases, per pair, $3.75 nound Drices

Sorts are charged at pound rates in quantities; the minimum charge is 75 cents, net. For school examination papers, paragraphs, quotations, etc., these small fonts will prove most useful.

In ordering sorts quote No. as well as lei

ter. No sorts for 1

ess than 75 cents, net

The Greek alphabet contains twenty-four letters : seventeen consonants and seven vowels. The only duplicate characters are (T and s, the latter being used as a final letter only. The accents and breathings are :

Smooth I * Rough Acute 1 ^ Grave Circumflex

*' Smooth acute ''^ Smooth grave

*^ Rough grave ** Diaeresis

''' Smooth circumflex •'• Diaeresis acute '^ Rough acute ^ Rough circumflex •'*• Diaeresis grave

The sign of interrogation is made by a [;], the colon by an inverted full point [.] ; the other points are the same as in English. The kerned letters are seldom re- quired, and are only supplied to a font to make up any deficiency in accented sorts. Accented caps have the accent before them, thus P121- The figures are the same as in English, and are not put up with job fonts. Compositors should bear in mind that no accent can be placed over any other than one of the last three syl- lables of a word. The grave accent never occurs but on the last syllable; this being the case, the rough grave ['''] and smooth grave ['^ J can only be used for a few monosyllables. No vowel can have a breathing excepting at the beginning of a word, and p is the only consonant marked by a breathing. Almost every word has an accent, but very few more than one.

Time-Saving Mail List Type

Every character is cast on en-quad ( ^ Point) set and only en-quads and ^-to-eni spaces are used for spacing, but will be furnished on 4^2 and 4 Points set ivhen specially ordered. By setting sticks to a jnultiple of 10 Point, spacing and justif cation become mere child's play— in fact, this type is self -spacing. Although the face is large, on exa^nination it %vill be found that Time-Saving Mail List Type is quite as condensed on the average as ordinary Mail List TyPe. Prices ^ same as for 10 Point Roman.

AMERICAN TYPE FOUNDERS CO.

Description of Self Spacing Type

The common widths of book pages, miscellaneous jobs and newspaper columns are some number of Pica ems, therefore the Pica em is taken as the basis for Self Spacing type. The thinnest space in all fonts is some exact fraction of a Pica, and this frac- tion of Pica is called the unit of measure. All characters, spaces and quads in the font are made some exact multiple of this unit in width, so that the sizes of all faces will work perfectly to- gether in the regular labor-saving measures. This unit of measure may be one-sixth, one-seventh, one-eighth, one-ninth, etc., of a Pica em, as may be desired, to produce condensed, medium or extended faces. The following table gives the sizes of iDodies, units of meas- ure and lengths of alphabets. In the first column will be found the various sizes of bodies; in the second, the number of units con- tained in one em Pica, and in the third the measurements of a low^er case alphabet in the ems of each particular body.

In the accompany- ing table will be found a Nonpareil with one- tw^elfth of Pica as the unit of measure. This is one -sixth of the body of Nonpareil, or the six -to -em space, and preserves in this particular font the old three-to-em space and the old en and em quads. The same is true of the Brevier on one-ninth. Bourgeois on one -eighth, and Pica on one-sixth of Pica. In a complete font of the old kind of body type there are about 190 widths of bodies. Appended is a table showing the different widths of bodies of Self Spacing. It will be readily seen that there are but nine widths of bodies all told, and that the four-unit width predominates largely over any other, there being fifty-nine characters of this width. We omit the Italic characters from the table, as they go on the same widths of bodies and are interchangeable with the Roman :

COPPER ALLOY TYPE

Any compositor can see that no combination of tinits can be made that will not come within a certain number of exact units of filling a line. If a line of matter lacks, it must lack one or more exact units. Self Spacing type sets line for line with the ordinary Roman, where the lengths of the alphabets are the same. Re- peated experiments with the new type have shown that the aver- age compositor gains about twenty-five per cent, in speed, with no trouble in justification whatever. In the matter of the correc- tion of proofs the gain is enormous. Say there is an "a" for an "e"; as "a" is four units wide and "e" three, "e" and one unit space justify the line perfectly. Even this measure of trouble is avoided in many instances. As twenty-eight of the most common lower case characters are of the same width, they can be substituted for one another without the change of a space. This type is of greater durability, as it is always on its feet and is therefore not worn by "pounding." In tabular work there is a great gain in speed and neatness. By the addition of a new character, viz: "|", it is easy to set perpendicular lines of any length, line upon line. It may be repeated that the compositor has nothing to learn in handling Self Spacing type. There is but one direction to be given to set that which looks like the em quad (six unit quad) wnth the nick out. Whoever will study the principle on which Self Spacing type is based, will readily admit that it is bound to secure easy and per- fect justification, greatly increased speed and consequent enormous saving, simplicity and rapidity of proof correction, and increased accuracy and ease in the setting of tables. All these points are beyond question, as certainly as the proposition that two and two are four is not open to argument. No rational person can

doubt them. This piece of composition w^as done in a 13-em measure stick, and set line upon line in the ordinary man- ner of straight read- ing matter, the low^- er part being leaded to show the method of setting. To furth- er explain and illus- trate the ease with which table work is done with Self Spac- ing type, we show above an example of miscellaneous justifications, w^hich is absolutely impossible to ac- complish with the old kind of type. In column No. 1 the first line begins with the lower case "i", two units wide, which is followed by the upright dash '* | ", two units, and the characters "a", four units, "n", four units, "d", four units, comprising sixteen units to accurately fill the column. The second line begins with the letter *'s", three units wide, w^hich throws thespace rule one unit further to the right than in the preceding line. In each succeeding line lower case characters are used to the total width of sixteen units, and such ^characters are chosen for the first part thereof as wall admit of advancing the space rule to the right exactly one unit in each succeeding line.

In the other columns the same plan is followed, the only change being in the substitution of caps, small caps, figures, etc., for the lower case characters, all columns coming perfectly justified inside the perpendicular lines.

The Invention of Printing has always been recognized by educated men as a subject of importance : there is no mechanical art, nor are there any of the fine arts, about whose early history so many books have been written. The subject is as mysterious as it is inviting. There is an unusual decree of obscurity about the origin of the first printed books and the lives and works of the early printers. There are records and traditions which cannot be reconciled of at least three distinct inven- tions of printing. Its early history is entangled with a controversy about rival inventors which has lasted for more than three centuries, and is not yet fully determined. In the management of this controversy a subject intrinsically attractive has been made repulsive. The history of the invention of printing has been written to please national pride.

43^ POINT NO. 17

THE INVENTION OF PRINTING has always been rec- ognized by educated men as a subject of importance: there is no mechanical art, nor are there any of the fine arts, about whose early history so many volumes have been written. The subject is as mysterious as it is inviting. There is an unusual degree of obscurity about the origin of the first printed books and the lives and works of the early printers. There are rec- ords and traditions which cannot be reconciled of at least three distinct inventions of printing. Its early history is entangled with a controversy about rival inventors which has lasted for more than three centuries, and is not yet fully determined. In the management of this controversy, a subject intrinsically at- tractive has been made repulsive. The history of the invention of printing has been written to please national pride. German authors assert the claims of Gutenberg and discredit traditions about Coster. Dutch authors insist on the priority of Coster and charge Gutenberg with stealing the invention. Partisans on each side say that their opponents have perverted the records and suppressed the truth. The quarrel has spread. English and French authors who had no national prejudices to gratify, and who should have considei-ed the question without passion, have wrangled over the subject with all the bitterness of Ger- mans or Hollanders. In this, as in other quarrels, there are amusing features, but to the general reader the controversy seems unfortunate and is certainly wearisome. It is a greater misfortune that all the early chronicles of printing were writ- ten in a dead language. Wolf's collection of Typographic Monuments, which includes nearly every paper of value writ- ten before 1740, is in Latin; the valuable books of Meerman, Maittaire, and Schoepflin ai'e also in Latin. To the general reader these are sealed books; to the student who seeks exact knowledge of the methods of the first printers, they are tire- some books. Written for the information of librarians rather than of printers, it is but proper that these books should devote the largest space to a review of the controversy or to a descrip- tion of early editions; but it is strange that they should so im- perfectly describe the construction and appearance of early types and the usages of the early printers. The mechanical features of typography were, apparently, neglected as of little importance, and beneath the dignity of history. A failure to ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 1234567890

The Invention of Printing has always been recog- nized by educated men as a subject of importance : there is no mechanical art, nor are there any of the fine arts, about whose early history so many volumes have been written. The subject is as mysterious as it is inviting. There is an unusual degree of obscurity about the origin of the first printed books and the lives and works of the early printers. There are records and traditions which cannot be reconciled of at least three distinct inventions of pnnting. Its early history is entangled with a controversy which has lasted for more than three centuries, and is not yet fully determined. In the management of this controversy, a subject in- trinsically attractive has been made repulsive. The history of the invention of printing has been written to please national pride. German authors assert the claims of Gutenberg and discredit traditions about Coster. Dutch authors insist on the priority of Coster and charge Gutenberg with stealing the invention.
