1 ene 1886 año - LINOTYPE MACHINE INVENTED

Descripción:

The Linotype machine was developed in 1884 by a German watchmaker named Ottmar Mergenthaler. This machine sped up the printing process and helped revolutionize the newspaper industry by its innovative technique of “line casting,” which placed entire lines of type for printing, rather than just individual letter typesetting. The name is a derivation from its full name, “Line of Type,” which is a literal description of the machine, itself.
