The speed and efficiency of printing was greatly improved through mechanization. This took several forms including: replacing wooden parts with metal ones, cylindrical printing, and stereotyping. The innovations of printing during the 19th century affected the way images were reproduced for illustrations as well as for type. These innovations were so influential on society because they greatly increased the ability to produce large quantities of work quickly. This was very significant for printers of newspapers, who were limited by the amount their press could produce in a short amount of time. Iron Printing Press One major step in improving the printing press was changing the parts from wood to metal.

    Thomas Hvid Kromann “Montages wrapped in flong: a material–archaeological investigation of Asger Jorn and Guy Debord’s Fin de Copenhague” (2015) Extended English summary "Montager svøbt i matricepap. En materialearkæologisk undersøgelse af Asger Jorn og Guy Debords Fin de Copenhague" was published in the Danish peer-reviewed journal Fund & Forskning, no. 54, 2015, pp. 587–625. Published by The Royal Library in Copenhagen. Thomas Hvid Kromann (b. 1974), PhD Researcher at the Center for Manuscripts and Rare Books, The Royal Library, Copenhagen, Denmark. [email protected] and [email protected] Aim of the article The making of Fin de Copenhague took place a couple of months before the foundation of the Situationist International movement (1957–72) and is closely linked to it. In an increasingly politicized situationist movement, Fin de Copenhague and its sequel, Mémoires, were instrumentalized as“documents” – not as art works in a book format, but rather as anti- art works. As was stated in the first issue of the bulletin Internationale Situationniste, no situationist art form could exist, only a situationist use of artistic methods. This self- perception, primarily influenced by Debord, has subsequently influenced the way the two books have been critically received. In the decades that followed their creation, relatively little attention was paid to them in the increasing amount of research into the art of Jorn, the political-avantgardist activism of Debord and the situationist movement. The “concept” behind the books was reduced to the theoretical framework of the situationist movement (corresponding to key situationist strategies such as “détournement”), while the material dimension of the concrete artefacts themselves was neglected.

The Bureau serves also as a focal point in the Federal Government for assuring maximum application of the physical and engineering sciences to the advancement of technology in industry- and commerce. To accomplish this mission, the Bureau is organized into three institutes covering broad program areas of research and services: THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS . provides the central basis within the United States for a complete and consistent system of physical measurements, coordinates that system with the measurement systems of other nations, and furnishes essential services leading to accurate and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry, and commerce. This Institute comprises a series of divisions, each serving a classical subject matter area: —Applied Mathematics—^Electricity—Metrology—Mechanics—-Heat—Atomic Physics Physical Chemistry—Radiation Physics—Laboratory Astrophysics ^—Radio Standards Laboratory,^ which includes Radio Standards Physics and Radio Standards Engineering- Office of Standard Reference Data. THE INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH . conducts materials research and provides associated materials services including mainly reference materials and data on the properties of materials. Beyond its direct interest to the Nation's scientists and engineers, this Institute yields services which are essential to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce. This Institute is organized primarily by technical fields: —Analytical Chemistry—Metallurgy'—-Reactor Radiations—^Polymers—Inorganic Mate- rials—Cryogenics ^—Materials Evaluation Laboratory—Office of Standard Reference Materials.

  • An Economic Comparison of Hot Metal and Cold Type Composition of Display Advertising
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF JULIE LATHAM VINCENTfor the M. S. (Name of student) (Degree) in Industrial Engineering presented on May 29, 1968 (Major) (Date) Title: AN ECONOMIC COMPARISON OF HOT METAL AND COLD TYPE COMPOSITION OF DISPLAY ADVERTISING Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy William Engesser / The objective of this thesis is to examine and compare hot metal and cold type production of display advertising for newspapers. The classical hot metal system uses a lead alloy as its basic build- ing material while modern cold type production uses photographic means. Some advantages of using cold type are the improved qual- ity of the final product, increased versatility in ad composition, possibilities for major labor savings, the lower skills required for the compositor and less production space required for the machinery. Some disadvantages of cold type production are the major investment required for new equipment, higher materials costs, difficulty in producing proofs, labor relations and retraining difficulties, and the durability of the press plates. The data for the hot metal method consisted of a sample of 195 ads.The eight major operations studied were Markup Time, Type Slips Time, Stereotype Time, Typesetting Time, Composing Time, Proof Pulling Time, and Correction Time. Thirty-seven fac- tors, such as the size of the ad and the number of lines of type, were hypothesized to effect the operation times.These operation times and factors were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis to formulate a mathematical model of the hot metal system.For this cold type system, circumstances prevented making a complete model but data for a sample of 15 ads was collected.

  • An Informal Look Into the History of Digital Typography
    An informal look into the history of digital typography David Walden walden-family.com/texland (Comments to me as [email protected]) October 25, 2016 Introduction The ditto machine at the elementary school at which my mother taught was what first sparked my interest in printing (and it had a swell smell). I became seriously interested in the craft of printing during four summers of college when I worked in or near the printing department of a large Fibreboard company plant that made cardboard packaging for food and drink companies (for example, cereal boxes and milk cartons). The plant had a four-color Miehle offset lithography machine that printed an array of boxes on each approximately 4.5-foot-by-6.5-foot sheet of cardboard; the plant also had big two-color lithograph machines and a couple of smaller letterpress machines. I have retained this interest in printing throughout my life. I didn’t begin to explicitly think about typography itself1,2 until about 20 years ago when I adopted LATEX for drafting and formatting books and papers I write. Then in 2012, I began to think about the history of printing and typography as I prepared a presentation for TUG2012 in Boston.3,4 Since then I have been reading (books, papers, Internet websites) and watching YouTube videos about the history of printing and typography that in time led into the digital era. This companion paper to my TUG2016 presentation sketches some of what I (think I) have learned in the hope that my study and thinking will be useful to someone else who is just starting to dig into this history.

The entire collection represents but a small part of all the models made in the nineteenth century, or even of all that survive today. Until 1880, the U.S. Patent Office required most inventors to submit a model with their application for patent protection. The Patent Office thus became the keeper of a huge collection, one that suffered several catastrophes over the years.

After the fire new patents, hitherto unnumbered, were numbered in a consecutive series. In 1840 an effort was made to restore models and specifications lost in the fire.
