Description

English: A machine for distributing used type: Each type has its own particular combination of nicks, and the receptacles in which the type is collated are provided at their entrances with wards corresponding to these nicks, so that each type can only enter the one receptacle for which its nicks are arranged. It is combined with the composing machine in such a way that the two work simultaneously.
