TODAY:First Newspaper printed Using Linotype Machine in 1886

The linotype machine  is a "line casting" machine used in printing Along with  letter printing , linotype was the industry standard for newspapers, magazines and posters from the late 19th century to the 1960s and 70s, when it was largely replaced by offset printing and computer typesetting. The name of the machine comes from the fact that it produces an entire line of metal type at once, hence a line-o--type,a significant improvement over the previous industry standard,that manual, letter-by-letter typesetting using a composing stick and drawers of letters.The printing newspaper are officially printed in jully 03 1886

The linotype machine operator enters text on a 90-character keyboard . The machine assembles matrices, which are molds for the letter forms, in a line.. The matrices are then returned to the type magazine from which they came, to be reused later. This allows much faster typesetting and composition than original hand composition in which operators place down one pre-cast metal leter ,punctuation mark   at a time.

The machine revolutionized typesetting and with it especially newspaper publishing, making it possible for a relatively small number of operators to set type  for many pages on a daily basis. Before margenthal's invention of the linotype in 1884, daily newspaperswere limited to eight pages
