TYPE SETTING MAcHINE
Type setting machines have within as
many past years, been invented, of which
much has been said and many promises
made; yet none have proved of practical
Importance. One OF these machines has,
however, been recently inveniedin in Vienna


which is said 10 have been "already prov
ed perfectly PRACTICAL" and which. it is
also thought, Twill have an incalculable
effect on the periodical press" lis exter.

the one broad and the other narrow. 1t

or 24,0i0 within an hour; while an
ordinary compost1r, by the usual mode
of composing, cannot set over 2000.-
The ten fingers are rendered practically op-
erative, and the machine therefore pc rtorms
its work ten times more quickly than the
quickest composiior. 1t may likewise be
made double or three fold, setting in sever
al channels by one APPLICATION of the ten
figures. and consequently from % or so, or
even more letters, may be set simutane-
ously. or indeed whole sentences The
machine was completed and exhibited at
the Royal Printing office, where its appli-
cation and utility have been closely exam
ined and fully tested. The simplicity of
its construction is said TO be remarkable,
and it is light and portable. So that, as
is said, ''the great typographical problem
is solved" Won KIiegal is thought to be
the first engaged IN the solution of this
problem, and he was followed by Young
and Delcambre, in England and France.

to his machine--a distributing machine.
