NINWATSETTITE ATFAROFF PONTS Bhoiric Investin Can Revole- tionize Newspaper Printing By NEA Service Rochester, N. Y., Dec. 7.—The invention of the Telletypesetter—a machine that will set type by tele- graph or radio—just announced by Frank E. Gannett, newspaper pub- lisher, and Walter W. Morey, of East Orange, N. J., brings to the history of pripting one more great 1evolutionizing nfluence, The new device combines two of the most amazing inventions in the newspaper trade—the linotype ma- later he at Mainz, Germany. was sacked by invading sel- d and the printers scattered all over Europe, carrying knowledge of their art to other countries. Wil- llam Caxton set up England's first press in 1477, and the (first press in the new world was set up at Mex- ico City in 1549, with Harvard Col- lege establishing the first ome in the English oolonies in 1638. Machines Invented in 1838 \In the 16th century men learned how to cast type instead of making it by hand, but the old method of hand-setting continued unchanged. Machines to cast type did not come into use until 1838. i Demands for increased speed made it obvious that the old meth- od of setting type were far too slow, and many experiments were made with pypeselting machines.

Almost any wood on the farm, even willow and cottonwood, they explain, can be made into post chine and the teletype, or telegraph- 1ypewriter. The linotype machine, as every- body knows, is a machine that sets type in solid metal slugs of one line each. Its invention did away with the old method of setting type by hand, which had existed since the days of Gutenberg, and made pos- sible the rapid printing of the mod- ern big city newspaper. The teletype by which an operator in one city can work a tyepwriter in a city across the continent, is beginning to replace the old-style telegraph in- strument in newspaper offices, bring- ing greater speed and accuracy to the transmission of news. Uses Perforated Tape This new invention — the Tele- typesetter — combines these two devices. The operator of the sending ap- paratus has a news story before him. He copies it off on his ma- chine, which has a keyboard like that of & typewriter. This per- forates a type. and the perfora- tlons govern the electrical im- pulses which are transmitted to the receiving set in a distant city. On the receiving set is another tape, which receives perforations identical with those on the tape of the sending set. This tape is fed through an apparatus which s = 15 connected ‘with the linotype ma-|make such changes in the copy as| vious, chine, and the impulses received | he sees fit. through the perforations in the| By tape depress the proper keys on the machine and cast the type in | the desired manner.

It works like the pres- ent automatic telegraph ma- chines, except that it repro- duces on a typesctting ma chine instead of on a type- writer. At the top is an oper- ator at the master keyboard, which puriches dots represent- ing the characters on e, a sample strip of which is shown below. This perforated tape : passes through a transmitting distributor which transmits the chara s or radlo—by means of el al impulses. Beneath are shown the receiving perforator, the receiving printer (which makes a typewritten record for the cditor), and the editing perforator, by which the editor can make desired changes.

The tape unwinds from the upper reel, passes through the machine and rewinds on the lower reel for filing. 361 MAIN ST, — OPP.
