Hi all,
Looks like a strange puzzle, however
the methodology
proves to be correct – way back in the
1890's.
I have searched for many years trying to find
out the methodology used by Mergenthaler Linotype over 100 years ago, but so far
have not come up with any answers.
Adjusted forward thrust on a 100+ year old
high base Model 5 Linotype in October 2006 at the Linotype University, Denmark,
Ia. and it used the same mats as 50 year old machines used in the training
environment at the school – so the algorithm has been in use a long
time.
Anyone have more info let me
know.
