VISUAL SETTING PHOTO TYPESETTER WITH MOVABLE CHARACTER FONT

摘要

An apparatus for visually setting type in which a carriage has at least two parallel track means arranged thereon, a displaceable font carriage adapted to co-operate with one of the tracks, carries a master font on which are printed a series of negative characters and an identically arranged parallel series of positive characters. One of the track means is adapted to receive a movable character bearing font adapted to be displaced relative to the carriage and to the master font. An exposure unit is arranged above the carriage to photograph a selected character from the negative font onto a film strip arranged therebelow, after the like positive character is appropriately visually aligned with a character on the movable character bearing font.
