Did you need twenty-four visual aids for instruction in composing room practice? Well, have we got twenty-four visual aids for instruction in composing room practice for you. The Internet gives two dates of publication: 1946 and 1959. And now you know as much about this as we do. So let’s start typing some nonsense: This was published by ATF. People who like to say a lot syllables or type a lot of characters call ATF the American Type Founders. The printing charts (all twenty-four of them) are loose, chipboard sheets, with explanations detailing how to set type and get it on a press and so on. It was prepared and distributed by ATF’s (or American Type Founders if you must) Education Services Department. Judging by how few copies are online or found in libraries, we’re guessing they sucked at distributing. This thing is scarce.
