Who is credited with the invention of the typewriter? Christopher Sholes.
What is a "stenographer"? Someone skilled in the transcription of speech.
Post an example of Shole's typewriter.
Why did Sholes send a prototype of his typewriter to Clephane? For him to test it, because he was a stenographer.
After the typewriter began production, why did Clephane pursue another machine? He wanted a machine to 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"? Arranging or generating type.
Post an example of Linotype Machine.
How does the Linotype Machine differ from the typewriter? It allows type to be set mechanically rather than by hand.
How did this machine change the newspaper industry? It allowed 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? It has 90 characters and no shift key- uppercase letters were separate from lowercase.
Post an example of a Linotype slug.
What is a slug? An assembled line of type 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? There are more than 100,000 around the world.
