1. The Pantograph was a 17th century grafting machine. It traced an original panel that was made out of plywood, or some cheaper wood material to create the usable wood type piece, which was then finished off by hand.2. The Pantograph had an attached router piece that cut the wood type letter. George Wells invented the router, and never put a patent on it, therefore never got credited on an invention we still use today.
3. The blocks used to tightly fit the type on the press before rolling the the paper over it and producing the print is called 'type furniture'.
4. This is a California Case. A drawer of metal type letters all in one flat invented as the new/improved alternative to Upper Case and Lower Case drawers.5. Upper case is also called Magiscule while lower case is also called Minuscule.
Fun Warning sign about using the press.
