Abstract
Publishing and printing have travelled a very long way in the last 150 years. There had been no basic changes in the working of the printing press between its first inception and the early nineteenth century. In those days each letter was both cast and set by hand. The maximum speed of an expert founder was about six letters per minute. This works out at more than half a day's work for a page.
