Ludlow
A machine designed by the Ludlow Typograph Co.,
and used for casting entire lines of type in a
range of sizes from 4 to 90 point, and, for
special purposes, even up to 240 point. Ludlow
composition is actually hand composition, except
that the compositor sets matrices (molds) instead
of actual type and casts the line from these
matrices. Ludlow machines are used in library
binderies for casting the type used for lettering
books. (156 , 234 )
