SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION

Means peculiarly adapted for assembling type or the elements of a printing-form, means for returning such type or elements to their respective storage-chambers after printing; also means, such as galleys and the like, not constituting a part of the printing apparatus, for holding assembled matter. Also cabinets, trays, or other means for holding or storing type for the compositor together with means for feeding the type to the delivery point of the holding means or from the type cabinet.

SECTION II - LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS

Compare Class 199, Type Casting, containing apparatus for setting or distributing matrices in type-casting machines. Compare Class 234, Selective Cutting (e.g., Punching), subclasses 4+, for a keyboard controlled typos:graphical tape-punch provided with a space totalizer and indicator for justification purposes (some of these devices comprise automatic justification computer and means to punch the justification symbol).
