rare monotype magic…
the monotype composition casting machine: first mechanical typesetter.
a typewriter style keyboard punches holes in a roll of paper tape which will control a separate caster.
a matrix (mat): a mould for casting letters (sorts) used in letterpress printing.
The matrix of one letter is held in the lower part of the mould, the mould is locked and molten type metal is poured into the cavity.
