Line 11: == Types of typesetting == Two different approaches to mechanising typesetting were independently developed in the late 19th century. One, known as the [[Monotype ~~Corporation~~System\|Monotype composition caster]] system, produced texts with the aid of perforated paper-ribbons, all characters are cast separate. These machines could produce texts also in "large-composition" up to 24 point. The Super-caster, another machine produced by Monotype, was similar in function to the Thompson, Bath, pivotal and others casters but designed to produce single type (including even larger sizes) for hand setting.
