FROM THE WORKSHOP

METAL SHAPER LITERATURE (AND SOURCES OF INFORMATION) A Shaper Tutorial. This one is a bit of a mystery to me. There is a file on Michael Moore's "EuroSpares.com" site under the link name "An introduction to shaper operation" (down in the copies of external items near the end of his page). The file itself is "AShaperTutorial.pdf". It's a general introduction to the shaper (although it could be used as a practical guide, there are other,better ones).
THE CIRCUITOUS ROOT® TYPEFOUNDRY & PRESS A Heretic's Guide to Type.

See also the Gorton P1-2 and related pantograph engraving machine manuals (manual 1385-E, specifically has information on using the Gorton 375-2 and on cutter shapes (pp. 31-40) and the Gorton auxiliary tool catalogs for pantograph engraving machines (which show TELETYPE MODEL 15 KSR, BASE 213102, INTRODUCTION 1.

The previous owner indicated that he had acquired the unit in 1960, and had used it both in his amateur radio hobby and at one time as a printer for his computer. HISTORY OF GEOMETRIC METHODS IN DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING 2. F. H. Rolt. It is through F. H. Rolt that we know what little we do about the origins of geometric methods in dimensioning and tolerancing, so it seems appropriate to try to learn a little moreabout him.
COLCHESTER (13" / MASTER 2500) LATHE LUBRICATION 3. Apron and Ways.

2. Related Equipment and Topics. For a survey of pantographs as used in the various stages of typographical matrix making, see the pantograph section of the CircuitousRoot boook Making Matrices.This includes a survey chapter on all types of pantographs, to put them in context . While pantographs date to the 17th century, the origins of the pantograph in typographical use may be traced UPDATES: (LEVER) CENTER INDICATORS The centering indicator is a Starrett No. 65 "Center Tester." It is set up rather anachronistically in clone of an Aloris (wedge type) quick-change toolpost. This is the "BXA" or "250" size. The toolholder is a 250-201T, the "tall slot" version of the basic -201 toolholder. LIST OF CURRENT TYPEFOUNDRIES Michael & Winifred Bixler.
