After a wide ranging career, Kahan took early retirement to pursue his lifelong interest in the printing trade. He found many conflicting reports about the German immigrant to the US Mergenthaler (1845-99) and his invention of an automatic typesetting machine that later became the Linotype, and decided to set the record straight with a biographical appreciation. He particularly narrates the conflicts with the typographers' unions and with his financial backers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Zustand: Very Good. Hardcover, 244 pages. 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.This compelling work chronicles Mergenthaler's struggles to get his invention accepted, and his battles with the typographical unions and with his financiers.
