<p>The machine provides access to a relatively large number of different characters located on relatively large spinning discs or drums. The characters are located in arrays such as concentric rows on a disc. A plurality of lenses is mounted on a lens carriage, and one or more light sources is mounted on a flash-lamp carriage. Character spacing is determined by motion of the lens carriage and/or the lamp carriage. Array selection is performed by motion of the lamp carriage, and/or motion of the lens carriage. A simple attachment is provided for composing long lines of enlarged characters for composing headlines and the like. This avoids the necessity of providing a separate headlining machine.</p> |
