Show GLASS TYPE th the c replacing of metal type by type made of glass la Is being seriously conald it has been found practicable to produce glass type since printers type Is locked and held beld lo gether solidly in frames rallies type consisting of one piece of glass was not found toworu to work dorily as the material was found to be too brittle to withstand the pressure the material however is so much cheaper and v cave so much time timela in the manufacture of type that the use ure of glass was wa not given up tip when it was found that it was not entirely available for tile the purpose wilhelm of johannesburg near gablenz Gab lonz the center of the bohemian glass industry has now patented a very remarkable invention ile he proposes to make 11 ake the body of the type of hard rub her ber or celluloid which when locked in the frame will resist the pressure without difficulty and places tile the glast glass top oi of the letter that Is the die real face ace of the type uron upon the rubber body cementing them solidly by the use oi of cement so a as noto not 0 o under the pressure tile the face of the type Is somewhat I 1 smaller than the trav traverse erse section of it the e bod body y and in this way the touching ottic face of the type in the fo tom m is effectively prevented the advantage of 0 using g glass tor for type which will keep its gha sharpness rp tor for a much longer time since glass is not as subject to wear as metal is there therefore forel effectively achieved with th this 18 invention the innovation has been practically tested and at the aresen present t moment may be produced in unlimited quantities at comparatively small cost the demand for type Is enormous and type foundries turn out millions milli onsol ol 01 type per year in the all printers type lad had to be finished by hand at that time an output of type per day was considered very large tile the first type making machine invented by david bruce brucca in 1838 could turn out type while the thear jr ajohnson RJ machine patented ra tented in in 1853 finished dally daily about type turning it out ready tor for use the latest invention in this field was the doable type machine of the frenchman foucher which turns out almost day by the system of pliz it will be possible to turnout from to type tier per day on the three machines necessary to produce his combined rubber and glass type phil phi adelph la record |
