THE NON-DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM These typesetting machines have not only made possible agreat saving of time in setting type but have effected anothergreat economy in the matter of distribution. When the materialcast in these machines, type, leads, slugs, rules and borders, hasbeen used it is not distributed in cases, but is remelted and usedagain to feed the machines. In this way the time of distribu-tion is saved. This method gives a new face of type on everydays edition, and accounts for the good typographical appear-ance of the modern THE LINOTYPE Tlic Printing Trade 33 These processes have all tended to reduce the number ofhandmen required in a newspaper composing room and thechanges, while gradual, have had the effect of forcing handmeneither to learn the operation of machines or to seek work incommercial shops. When the handman does learn machine opera-tion, he is likely to be more adept in setting matter used foradvertisements and display than an operator who has had notraining in this branch of the work. Handmen will always berequired in composing rooms to assemble, make up and lock uptype set on machines, but not in such numbers as the handman is ready to assemble an advertisement ordisplay matter he takes all the type for the job which has beenset on the machines and sets the displayed lines (i. e., the largerlines which are used to emphasize the subject) and cuts bordersand inserts rules and cuts.
