LATEST MODEL TYPESETTING
MACHINE AT HERALD OFFICE
The Herald Installs Latest Model Machine in Keeping With Policy of
Giving Its Patrons the Best Description of
Since starting the Daily Herald this office has been handicapped by
the Inability of our Junior linotype to aet all the copy prepared, with the
reeult that many article of Importance are often omitted. The machine
that haa been In The Herald office for about three years la what la technic
ally known as a Linotype. The Junior Linotype handled the composition
on the weekly rery satisfactorily and will be retained In The Herald office
aa extra equipment. Riving thla office two machines.
After inspecting the various models of Linotypes, of which there are
ten In all, aa well aa its competitor, the Intertype, it was an easy matter to
select the latter on account of ita many Improvements and advantages over
the linotype or Mergenthaler machine.
The dally and weekly Herald are now net up on this new machine.
Our Intertype la fully equipped with magazines which contain the matrices
from Which the letters and lines are cast, each containing a different size
and style of type face.
The machine la fully equipped for handling the type setting on all
kinds of advertisement and Job work, book work, legal briefs, etc. The
bed for newspaper articles, ub heads, etc., can be'set on the machine.
The Intertype is the fastest composing machine made. John P. O'
Svllivan, a New York operator, on November 17, 1913, composed 11,024
eans of pica, brevier and agate type in one hour, making the necessary
changes of magazine, liners, etc., without assistance. The matter was di
vided as follows: 2,232 ems of 12-point, 24 ems wide; 3,402 ems of 8-point,
18 ems wide; 6,390 ems of 04 -point, 16 ems wide; he making the two
necessary changes of magasine, liners, ejector, assembler, knife, and viae
jaw without assistance.
The Herald is the first newspaper
la western Nebraska to introduce
the lnt-.rtype Into its mechanical de
partment. There are already near
ly four hundred Intertypes on the
market in competition with the Mer
genthaler linotype, which it resem
bles In general appearance. With
the expiration of tho Mergenthaler
patents, the International Typeset
ting Machine company, with Herman
Ridder, a New York multi-millionaire
publisher, at its head, was
launched a little over a year ago and
eatered the field, which had up to
INTKItTVI'K,
that time been held exclusively .by
the Mergenthaler company for over
twenty years.
A million dollars was spent by
this company before a machine was
turned out of the factory, but the re
sult of this vast expenditure has
been a model plant at Brooklyn and
an improved machine that is not on
ly simpler, more efliiient but inure
practical than, the linotype. The
N. Y. Times has made provisions for
adopting the Intertype as have the
leading newspapers in other cities.
The Intertype installed in The
Herald office at first glance resem
bles a No. S linotype. It is a dupli
cate of the No. 5, which is the fast
est mode of the linotype, with many
Improvements added. The maga
zine can be changed in twenty sec
onds by the operator, and comes off
at the rear of the machine, thus
avoiding all danger of injury to the
keyboard. In changing magazines,
all locking and unlocking is done au
tomatically. The act of removing
the magazine locks matrices at front
and back of magazine, also locks the
keyboard, rods and verges, and
when another magazine, holding a
different set of matrices, Is put ou,
all are automatically released and
ready for operation.
Intertypes are especially designed
for tMMMl, reliability and economy,
and contain many simple devices to
bring about this end. They have a

The reeds, which are all alike andervice and quality. The Herald'
interchangeable, are flat, at the u pi
per end. and terminate at the lower
end in a round spring plunger, which
rests on the cam yoke. There are
no reed springs. There are no sep
arate verges or verge pawls; instead
one semi-circular pawl, a piece of
steel which the flat end of the rcdjone shipped into Nebraska, although
strikes in its upward motion, rocks'
auu releases the matrix. Any one
of these pawls may be removed in a
few seconds with tha Angers without
disturbing any other pawl. F.iou

"The magazine channels and the
channel entrances are spaced accord-
ing to the needs of the matrix nar
row space for thin matt and wide
spaces for thick ones. The pi chan
nel Is outside the magazine, attached
to the frame, and pi-board charac
ters are carried down to a stacker, at
the operator's right hand. The mag

ed from the rear. In changing, the
operator does nothing except pull
the magazine backward. It auto
matically locks itself, and is remov
ed just as it would be from the
front, by one man, standing on the
floor.
The distributor elevator la steadi
ed by a lever and weight instead of
a spring. There Is no Intermediate
clutch for the assembler; instead Is
a loose pully just back of the assem
bler to which the operator shifts the
belt when wishing to stop the star!

hold the matrices in the casting ele-1
vator. The left hand jaw is moved j
by a geared knob similar in appear-
ance to the knob of an ordinary of-:

nonpareils, and can almost instantly!
be set any desired length by turning
the knob.
"The mold is held In place on disc
by two screws; merely by loosening
one screw the mold can be swung

One mold sets from five to 14 point.

to set up to 48 point. In changing

a steel pin from the 5-point hole,

pin in the 12-point hole.
"Hut to my mind, the greatest ec
onomical feature of this new ma
chine from the viewpoint of book,
and Job man is the metal pot. It
has a capacity of "50 per ceut great
er than the other machine. It has
an extra well and extra burner so
placed as to render cracking of the
crucible through expansion and con
traction almost impossible. The gov
ernor contains no mercury, and is
immersed directly in the metal In
the pot. It Is claimed to be so sen
sitive that the slight reduction in
temperature resulting from drop
ping one pig of metal in the pot
causes an appreciable increase in
the (low of gas.
"The matrices are essentially the
same as we are already familiar
with, but the spacebands are a beau
tiful piece of work from the machin
ist's viewpoint. Instead of the
sleeve being two pieces and held to
gether by four rivets, it is cut from
one solid piece of steel. The wholt
band consists of but three-piece--
sleeve, wedge and the small rivet. i

CANADA HAS PARCEL POST
Sister Country to North Follows tho

augurating Parcel Post
Ottawa, Out., Feb. 10. The Canad
ian parcel pout, for which prepara-
tiorva have been olag forward for
many months, became an accomplish
ed fact today, when Hon. IxHila P.

Important feature dosls-ned to bene

For the first three months of oper
ation parcels up to six pounds only
are to be taken. Afterward when
the eystein gets Into proper running
order the full limit of eleven pound
will be carried. The local zone sys
tem Id expected to be of great bene
fit to merchants and ateo to farmers
and gardener who can use the
nuill for nendljig produce to their
local market at low rates. A parcel
of eleven pounds can.' bo sent twenty
miles for two cents a Kund, and
thl Is expected to give the farmer
a decided advantage in marketing
eggs and other perishable matter. It
will ulo give a decided advantage to
the country merchant over the city
department stores. The former can
wnt out goods In parcels up to elev
en pounds to hla customers flt two
cents a pound, while if the same
goods were ordered from a cotwrn
mere ihnn twenty miles dlstianrf, k
would coPt nhoiit five cents a o.inid
