1896 MUNSEY: THE WORLD AWHEEL
The LINOTYPE is to the printing business of the present day what the inventions of Guttenberg and Caxton were to the primitive writing systems of the fifteenth century. It raises the unit of type-setting from a letter to a line. Hence its name (line-o’-type). Six years ago it was declared to be ‘one of the most remarkable machines ever invented,’ and the Right Hon. W.E. Gladstone said: ‘It is a machine for which I cannot but anticipate effects equally extensive and beneficial to mankind.’
