EQUIPMENT FOR MANUFACTURING PRINTED MATTER

摘要

Individual, relatively small sheets bearing different characters are removably disposed in superposed relation in multiple replenishable piles thereof in at least one character-selector board provided with an index to the characters to facilitate locating and readily removing each small sheet bearing a selected character from a specific pile thereof in said board. A plurality of composition strips receive the small sheets of selected characters removed from said board to form on such strips words, sentences and paragraphs made up from said small sheets of selected characters. Enlarging or reducing platemaking cameras photograph said made up composition strips and prepare paper plates therefrom for introduction into an offset printing press to afford the end product of printed matter which may serve as copy for newspapers, magazines, catalogues and the like.
