Typesetting By Photography In The Works

October 1925

TYPE-SETTING FILM

London — Type-setting by photography is the latest invention heralded as a printing revolution. J.R.C. August and E.K. Hunter, who have devised the system, predict that metal type printing will soon be obsolete. The basis of the invention is a film on which letters and all kinds of type have been photographed by means of a keyboard like that of a typewriter. Characters from a "master film" are projected in rapid sequence on to a sensitized base and photographed by fractional exposures.

SOME PRINTER

"May I print a kiss on your lips?" I said
And she nodded her sweet permission.
So we went to press and, I rather guess,
We printed a full edition.
"One edition is hardly enough,"
Said she, with a charming pout.
So again on the press the form was placed,
And we got some extras out.

Smith: "Why do you prefer to enlist young unmarried fellows?"

"Don't you agree that my girl is an angel?"
"Yes, but I notice she paints."
"Well, did you ever see an angel that wasn't painted?"
