is not a dead person coiled in it
but only the "printer's devil” look-
ing up a “cut” for the editor be-
cause the mayor has died and the
paper must run his picture, which
in metal form is only a “cut.”
On these stone slabs you will
see lots of curious—but a stranger 1
should not interrogate as to names. |
The terms by which one or two'
are known are not polite but they!
are part of the newspaper shop. I
Now there is the "form" (all of
the inch high lead slugs with type'
on the top face) and around it is
the “chase” an iron frame which
holds the “form” (there is love in
a print shop) and the corrugated
wedges are but “quoins” which!
lock the form tight. These “quoins”
are not good for money so leave
them on the slab.
Furniture is a big item to the
printer. His “furniture” is made
up or those black wooden sticks and
iron tid-bits which fill in the sides
of the "form" to make the lead
tight. Such a conspiracy but it
has to be done.
The most guttural term in the
whole shop is the term applied to
the strips of lead type from the
linotype, simple “slugs.” “Mats”
aid a wrestler but a printer can
not do without them. They are
pasteboard molds into which lead
is poured to make a “plate” (to
make a picture on the news page).
"C uts” are made in the engraving
house by process of acids, copper
plating, a camera and a photo-
graph. "Mats”—short for matrices
—are also of brass—the little let-
ter molds on the Linotype ma-
chine that molds each line-o’-type.
You’ve heard of galley slaves.
Printers are. They slave back and
forth from the linotype machine
to the stone tables carrying lead
type in "galleys" (flat plates with |
curbed sides except at one end.
No printer could get around with-
out his "stick.” It is similar to the
galley, smaller, has only two sides
and an “end gate" to measure off
the type which is hand set.
Indigestible “Pi”
Jumbled hand set type is only
"pi" and in no instance is diges. '
tible to the average person.
Here is the “copy” which is hung I
No one believes that lice exist
between those columns of inch
high slugs which have type on top
and are made in the linotype. So
