English - English
a system for arranging type (3) in the form of solid metal lines. Trademark name for a typesetting machine by which characters are cast in type metal as a complete line, rather than as individual characters (as on the Monotype typesetting machine). It was patented in 1884 by Ottmar Mergenthaler. It has now been almost entirely supplanted by photocomposition. In Linotype, a keyboard is manipulated to compose each line of text. The slugs produced by the machine are rectangular solids of type metal (an alloy of lead, antimony, and tin) with raised characters that are a mirror image of the desired printed line. After hot-metal casting, the slug of type, air-cooled briefly, is placed in a "stick" for insertion in the proper position into the press form being made up. See also letterpress printing, printing
{f} set type on a Linotype machine (Printing)
a typesetting machine operated from a keyboard that casts an entire line as a single slug of metal
A kind of typesetting machine which produces castings, each of which corresponds to a line of separate types
The slug produced by the machine, or matter composed in such lines
{i} machine that casts solid lines of type (Printing)
By pressing upon keys like those of a typewriter the matrices for one line are properly arranged; the stereotype, or slug, is then cast and planed, and the matrices are returned to their proper places, the whole process being automatic
