[GreenKeys] Typesetting Perforator, 6 Level Equipment, etc.

[Jim Taylor]

Typesetters do get a bit finicky sometimes - often involving misplaced 
spacebands.  During the setting process the machine pulls up on the 
wedge shaped spacebands - adjusting the width of the spaces - to 
'justify' the line of type.  If there's a space in the wrong place, they 
could end up being pulled out, making the line of type fail.  When that 
occurs, the molten lead can end up being sprayed from the machine.
...been there, experienced that.

Thanks, Jim!

This is the first time I have seen reference to "53-speed." I thought it
might be a limitation in the speed of the linecasting equipment, but
there was also "66-speed" gears mentioned. (p4)

Note the warning? on p. 9 about not using the test tape on the
typesetter unit, as? it may "cause hot lead to be sprayed from the
linecasting machine."
