What is a "stenographer"?
A stenographer uses a form of shorthand to create written and legible documents. A special machine is used for this process
Post an example of Shole's typewriter.
Why did Sholes send a prototype of his typewriter to Clephane?
He was making it for Clephane's company so he wanted to get the approval
After the typewriter began production, why did Clephane pursue another machine?
The typewriter took too long to typeset and copy words. Clephane wanted to bridge the gap between typewriter and printed page.
Who spent a year redesigning Clephane's typesetting machine?

Post an example of Linotype Machine.
How does the Linotype Machine differ from the typewriter?
It allowed a whole line of type to be generated without human help
How did this machine change the newspaper industry?
It allowed a small number of operators to set type more quickly so more newspapers were produced in less time
Post an example of a Linotype keyboard.
How did the keyboard of the Linotype Machine differ from keyboards that we use today?The Linotype keyboard has different colors and had 90 keys. There were no shift key for capital letters. There are black keys for lower case, white keys for upper case and blue keys for punctuations, digits, small capital letters and fixed width spaces.
Post an example of a Linotype slug.
What is a slug?
single line of type
Post an example of a person operating a Linotype Machine.
Why is the Linotype Machine the greatest advanced in printing since movable type?
The Linotype is the greatest advance in printing since movable type because it made it possible for a small number of operators to set type for more pages on a daily basis, prior to this machine no more than 8 pages in newspaper were created.
