1892 A. Powell Southward's Pract. Printing (ed. 4) xxxii. 318 The Linotype..sets up not types, but type-matrices, and then, when a line is complete, passes the matrices on to a foundry which forms part of the apparatus, and a full line is cast... Distribution is avoided. The matter once used..is returned to the metal pot and melted ready for fresh work... The advantages of the machine are its great speed and the economy effected by melting instead of distributing. A disadvantage is the fact that..there is no mode of correction other than to reset the whole line... Still,..the machine has decided merits. It is in use in many newspaper offices.

1892 A. Powell Southward's Pract. Printing (ed. 4) xxxii. 318 (advt.) The result of a contest between four American Composing Machines..showed that on the Linotype the operator averaged 12,250 Ens an Hour, corrected matter.
