type slug การใช้

• They have greater ranges than older Foster and Brenneke-type slugs.
• The casting section receives completed lines from the assembler, and uses these to cast the type slugs that are the product of the linotype machine.
• Previously, hot-metal typesetting equipment had incorporated a built-in keyboard, such that the machine operator would create both the original text and the medium ( lead type slugs ) that would create the printed page.
• In printing, each bar was raised up until the correct character for that print position was opposite the paper, whereupon the bar was pushed toward the paper, so that the correct numeral or letter pressed against the ribbon, striking the paper much the way type slugs leave an impression on paper in a standard typewriter.
