GENERAL INFORMATION
Directions tor Ordering Supplies
»-v UBLISHERS are earnestly requested to carefully consider their
supply orders before placing them. We cannot exchange or give
credit for matrices, molds, or other supplies furnished on order,
as the labor and expense of testing, inspecting and sorting forbid
our doing so. Supplies thus furnished are therefore useless to us
if returned.
K
Customers are cautioned to carefully observe the instructions given below
when ordering supplies. By so doing they will avoid mistakes, and save
time and trouble.
When ordering matrices use printed Matrix Order Blanks, which we
supply free on request.
State plainly name of font and number of face desired, specifying
whether fractions are wanted, and if so whether they are to be on an
"em" or "en" or "figure" "set," and whether they are to be run in
keyboard, pi box, or in special channel.
When ordering sets of caps or lower case matrices, state if a to z only
are wanted.
If you are using No. 1 faces with No. 2 table characters, or No. 2
faces with No. 1 table characters, or any other combination of faces,
please specify this in your order.
When ordering italics, black faces, or special matrices, always specify
whether they are to run pi or in the magazine.
When ordering 1 1 -point Gothic head letter matrices, state whether
they are to be used on 9-point or 1 1 -point body.
Matrices for sorting up can be furnished, independent of sets, in any
quantities.
If you are in doubt as to the number of the face you are using, send
a lower case "n" matrix.
Fractions in German faces are always furnished to run in the pi box.
We carry in stock pine trays to hold a full set of matrices, which will
be found very convenient for handling and storing sets of matrices not
in actual use. These we supply at $1 each.
Always state plainly how you wish goods shipped — whether by freight,
express, or by mail ; and if a special route is desired, name it. Other-
wise we shall exercise our judgment.
It is important that supply orders should be sent either to one of the
agencies or to the factory direct, not to the General Office, New York.
Remember that unless your order is plain and in accordance with the
above instructions, vexatious delays are liable to occur.

One and two-letter sets in any face from 5-point to 14-point inclusive,
if made up according to standard list, are $40 and $66 respectively per
set; if changes are required an additional charge will be made.
DUPLICATE CHARACTER MATRICES are made with identic-
ally the same character in both positions and can be used in either upper
or lower position in connection with one- and two-letter matrices, with-
out shifting the line.
TWO-LINE MATRICES are used principally for initial letters and
"ads," casting on the first slug and overhanging the second. They can
be used for head lines by casting them on an 11 -point body.
SECTIONAL MATRICES are used for advertising work requiring
large figures. The top section casts on the first slug and the bottom on
the second; the two complete the character.
VERTICAL SLUG MATRICES have the character punched cross-
wise of the matrices and cast it horizontally on the slug, permitting the
slug to be turned vertically to produce a column of figures in print.
RIVETED MATRICES represent two or more characters combined
to produce a single character, logotype, or word. The charge for this
style of matrix is 3 cents for each matrix composing the character and
10 cents additional for riveting. For two-letter the price is 4£ cents for
each character and 10 cents for riveting.
HAIR SPACES are very thin spaces, grading in .001 of an inch from
.012 to .020. They are similar in shape to the "en" and "em" spaces,
but are inserted in the line by hand and automatically returned by the
GENERAL INFORMATION
machine to the quad box. These should not be confounded with the
regular thin spaces measuring .028, .031, .035, .0385, .042, and .049.
ACCENTED CAPITALS can be furnished reduced in height to
cast on a regular body, or made full height to cast on a larger body,
the increased thickness to go on the top of the slug.
Superior and Inferior Figures can be used for extended fractions, foot-
notes, powers, etc.
Should you return matrices to us at any time, please see that they are
carefully assorted by font, face and character — that is, put all A*$
together, all B's together, etc., of each font. By so doing you will
save time and expense, as we invariably charge for this work.
If sets are required to be broken and other characters substituted in
place of those regularly supplied, it will be done upon request. There
will, however, be a charge of $1 per font for doing this, as it entails
extra labor and a second handling, as well as inspection and recounting.
ITALIC / AND g REMODELLED. Attention is called to the re-
modelled Italic / shown in the following faces: 6-, 8-, 10-, 11-, and
12-point Old Style No. 1. We are remodelling the Italic / in all of
our faces, and as rapidly as completed they will be placed in stock.
We are also remodelling the Italic g in our Old Style No. 1 faces.
When either of the above is desired it should be specially requested.
BORDER MATRICES, to be assembled in lines and used in any
Linotype machine in connection with the ordinary mold, do not demand
the use of any extra parts in the machine. Order by number and note
that the corner pieces have special numbers. Sets of 26 matrices $2.50 ;
single matrices 10 cents.
MATRIX SLIDES, complete in one piece, are used in the machine
with the regular mold. One quad block must be had to hold the slides,
which are interchangeable and produce rules, dashes, and borders in
great variety, in every way as perfect as those of brass. Quad Blocks,
13£ to 30 ems, $2.00; 13 ems and under, $1.75. Matrix Slides, any
pattern, 13£ to 30 ems, $1.25; 13 ems and under, $1.00.
SPACEBANDS are now made in three classes — thin, thick, and extra
thick. The thin bands present a minimum thickness of .032 of an inch
and expand to .095 of an inch. These are for use where very thin
spacing is desired, as, for example, in connection with very small faces.
Thick bands present a minimum thickness of .0375 of an inch, and
expand to .100 of an inch. These bands are most commonly used and
are made for use with one- and two-letter matrices.,
Extra thick bands present a minimum thickness of .047 of an inch, and
expand to .147 of an inch. They were especially designed to save hand
spacing where large German matrices are used on short newspaper
measure, and can also be used with 12-point faces, or where wide
spacing is desired.

THE MOST ancient materials employed for recording events were bricks, tiles,
shells, and tables of stone. The modes of writing on these different substan-
ces were various. The tiles and brick were impressed with a stamp when in
a soft state; the shells and tablets of stone were etched or graven, the fig-
ures or characters being cut in their surface, and in some cases also stained
with various colors. It was by the ancient art of stamping that the walls,
palaces, and towers of Babylon were covered with hieroglyphics, which have

to record his words that the generations following might see the jus-
tice of his cause. The English translation has given the allusion to

with various colors. It was by the ancient art of stamping that
the walls, palaces, and towers of Babylon were covered with

were bricks, tiles, shells, and tables of stone. The modes
of writing; on these different snbstances were various.
The tiles and brick were impressed with a stamp •when

MERGENTHALER LINOTYPE CO.
BY THIS SYSTEM, invented by Mr. J. R. Rogers and adopted
by the Linotype Company, it becomes possible to set rule and
figure matter and tables in general on the Linotype machine
with rapidity and accuracy and at a cost below that possible under any
other system.
The appliances for this work are quickly applicable to all exiting
Linotype machines.
The machine produces the ordinary horizontal slugs, having therein
slots to receive shallow brass rules. The slugs are delivered from the
machine with the slots therein, and no sawing, cutting or other treatment
is necessary. After the proofs are pulled and corrections made, the
rules may be inserted in an instant, and when the form is locked up the
rules are held securely in place.

VERTICAL SLUG TABLE MATRICES
These matrices differ from the ordinary matrices only in that the
characters are punched horizontally or transversely in the edge instead
of vertically.
The characters, on the vertical slug, appear one under another
instead of one beside another, as on the usual slug. In making up
the form, the vertical slugs are placed end up and arranged side by
side.
For further information see our circular, " Tabular Matter and
the Linotype."

HESE cuts show a Dash
Quad Block (b) and a
removable Matrix Slide (a).
The Quad Block, containing
a Matrix Slide, is placed in
the assembling elevator in
the same manner as a line
of sorts. The transfer lever
is then locked, and any num-
ber of dashes may then be
produced.
With one Dash Quad
Block and a few Matrix
Slides (which are inter-
changeable) the entire cost
of brass rules, dashes, etc.,
may be saved.
These rules are ordinarily made to cast on a 6-Point
body, but can be cast on any size from 5 J4 -Point to
i2-Point, according to the thickness of the face. They
are made any length desired up to 30 ems i2-Point. In
ordering please state both the length of face and body
desired.
