\"Linotype<\/p>\n

This model increased the capacity of the Linotype machine, enabled the operator to effect a quick change from one magazine to another, and from one mould to another, without getting off his chair, and provided a composing machine suitable for general jobbing as well as the newspaper printer.<\/p>\n

With three magazines in position, each charged with double-letter matrices, and with the necessary moulds in the mould wheel, this model was capable of turning out work of varied character at the highest possible speed.<\/p>\n

Each fount of matrices supplied with this machine comprised 180 characters, or five alphabets, with the necessary figures, points, etc., and the full capacity of the three magazines therefore provided a maximum of 540 characters in each complete equipment. [Ed.-That’s what it says.]<\/i><\/p>\n

For newspaper headlines special magazines could be arranged, providing as many as eight alphabets of caps and two complete body founts of roman and black letter, or a total of 12 faces or 16 alphabets, all of them available from one keyboard for immediate use.<\/p>\n

This model could be supplied either as a simplex or duplex, or triplex–that is, it could be equipped with one, two, or three magazines as the purchaser required.<\/p>\n

If installed at first as a simplex, further equipment could be obtained subsequently and added to the machine at any time. As regards the other parts of the machine, the improvements were practically identical with Models 2 and 3. The machine produced all sizes of type faces from 5-point up to 14-point, in all measures up to 30 pica ems.<\/p>\n

“This style of Model 4 is no longer built.”<\/p>\n
