Sometimes I can borrow matrices for sizes and faces not listed here. The specimens SOMETIMES show characters which• are NOT AVAILABLE. If you have specific requirements, let me know. If you are MIXING new type into your drawers send• me a cap H so that my type will align with yours. “COMPOSITION” means machine typesetting can• be done to your specifi cations. Your manuscript can be set with spacing, justifi cation etc. performed in the keyboarding and casting process. When done with your printing, you may return the metal for a REFUND of the metal charge or you may keep some or all of the type to put into cases for future hand setting. DISPLAY or an asterisk ‘‘*’’ means that one character• is cast until it is done and then a new character is cast, and so on, allowing only fonts, sorts and hand composition to be available. IN GENERAL machine composition runs 6 to 12 point although comp up to 24 point is possible. Many of the classic and newer designs run “small comp” to 14 point and “large comp” to 24 point.
