First Edition. Ottmar Mergenthaler is considered one of America's greatest inventors. The German immigrant revolutionized the printing and publishing industry with the invention of an automatic typesetting machine which became known as the Linotype. This remarkable machine made it possible to eliminate the laborious hand setting… of lead type by allowing one linotype operator to do the work of a half dozen typographers. Author, Basil Kahan researched the early history of the Linotype and discovered many conflicting reports about Mergenthaler. With a great deal of scholarship behind him, Kahan has produced a definitive work on the great inventor in celebration of Mergenthaler's centennial. This compelling work chronicles Mergenthaler's struggles to get his invention accepted, his battles with the typographical unions and with his financiers.
