Typographical Printing-Surfaces: The Technology and Mechanism of their Production
Typographical Printing-Surfaces is a technical manual by Lucien Alphonse Legros and John Cameron Grant, published in 1916 as a digital reprint, aimed at printers and typefounders studying how type and printing surfaces are made. Its plates show machines: a typecasting or composing apparatus with a rotating drum and levers in the first, and photographed typesetting machinery with close-up views of keyboards and type-slug mechanisms in the second, offering a designer clear, documentary views of hot-metal typesetting equipment.
