 Linotype method, was titled, The Tribune Book of Open-Air Sports.

Initially, the Mergenthaler Linotype Company was the only company producing linecasting machines, but in time, other companies would begin manufacturing. The Intertype Company produced the Intertype, a machine closely resembling the Linotype, and using the same matrices as the Linotype, started production around 1914. Where Mergenthaler prided themselves on intricately formed cast-iron parts on their machine, Intertype machined many of their similar parts from steel and aluminum.

Major newspaper publishers retired Linotype and similar "hot metal" typesetting machines during the 1970s and 1980s, replacing them with phototypesetting equipment and later computerized typesetting and page composition systems., the last-known newspaper still using linotype in the United States, and possibly the world, is The Saguache Crescent.

Overview 

The linotype machine consists of four major sections:

 Magazine
 Keyboard
 Casting mechanism
 Distribution mechanism

The operator interacts with the machine via the keyboard, composing lines of text. The other sections are automatic; they start as soon as a line is completely composed.

Some linotype machines included a paper tape reader. This allowed the text to be typeset to be supplied over a telegraph line (TeleTypeSetter). It also allowed for several tape perforator operators to prepare paper tape to be processed by a single linotype machine, essentially decoupling the typing speed of the operators from the operating speed of the linotype machine.

Design

Matrices 

Each matrix contains the letter form for a single character of a font of type; i.e., a particular type design in a particular size. The letter form is engraved into one side of the matrix. For sizes up to 14 points, and in some matrices of size 16 to 24 points, the matrix has two letter forms on it, the normal and auxiliary positions. The normal position has the upright (Roman) form of a given character, and on the auxiliary, the slanted (Italic) form of that character will be used, but this can also be the boldface form or even a different font entirely. The machine operator can select which of the two will be cast by operating the auxiliary rail of the assembler, or, when setting entire lines of italics, by using the flap, which is a piece that can be turned under a portion of the first elevator column.

 Initially, the Mergenthaler Linotype Company was the only company produce linecasting machine, but in time, other companies would get down manufacturing. The Intertype Company produced the Intertype, a machine close resemble the Linotype, and using the same matrices as the Linotype, started production around 1914. Where Mergenthaler pride themselves on intricately formed cast - iron parts on their car, Intertype machined many of their similar part from steel and aluminum.

 Matrices 

 Each matrix contains the letter shape for a individual character of a font of type; i.e.,   a particular character design in a particular size. The letter form is engraved into one side of the matrix. For sizes up to 14 points, and in some matrices of size 16 to 24 points, the matrix have two letter form on it, the normal and auxiliary positions. The normal military position has the good (Roman) form of a establish character, and on the aide, the slanted (Italic) form of that character will be use, but this can also be the boldface kind or even a different baptismal font entirely. The machine operator can select which of the two will be project by operating the auxiliary rail of the assembler, or, when put entire lines of italics, by using the flap, which is a piece that can be call on under a portion of the first elevator column.
