What is a "stenographer"? A stenographer is a trained professional that makes use of specific forms of shorthand to accurately transcribe verbal communications as they occur or from a recording.
Post an example of Shole's typewriter.
Why did Sholes send a prototype of his typewriter to Clephane? When beginning to pursue commercial development, he realized stenographers would be among the first and most important users. So he sent a prototype to Clephane.
After the typewriter began production, why did Clephane pursue another machine? He pursued the invention of a machine for typesetting, one that would bridge the gap between the typewriter and the printed page.
Who spent a year redesigning Clephane's typesetting machine? Ottmar Mergenthaler
What is meant by "typesetting"? The Linotype Machine revolutionized typesetting.
Post an example of Linotype Machine.
How does the Linotype Machine differ from the typewriter?The Linotype Machine allowed type to be set mechanically rather than by hand. It produced a solid line of type by casting hot lead into a series of molds that corresponded to individual letters. The typewriter was produced commercially for transcribing notes .
How did this machine change the newspaper industry? The newspaper industry changed radically making it possible for a small number of operators to set type for more pages on a daily basis.
Post an example of a Linotype keyboard.
How did the keyboard of the Linotype Machine differ from keyboards that we use today? The Linotype Keyboard is a 90-character keyboard. There was no shift key, therefore uppercase letters had separate keys from lowercase letters. The arrangement of keys was based on letter frequency. The keyboard had the same alphabet arrangement twice.
Post an example of a Linotype slug.
What is a slug? the assembled line of type is then cast as a single piece
Post an example of a person operating a Linotype Machine.
Why is the Linotype Machine the greatest advanced in printing since movable type? The Linotype Machine took the world by storm. In 1889, the Linotype was awarded a " Grand Prix" awarded at the world expo in Paris. The first machine in Europe was owned and operated by a newspaper in Amsterdam. In 1898, it arrived in France and was used for a newspaper in Paris. By 1904, there were 10,000 Linotype in use. By 1954, there were more than 100,000 machines in use around the world.
