Figure 2
several different sizes and faces of type, assemble all lines of one
size and face together before beginning.
2. Before distributing compare the face and nick of the type
to be distributed with that in the case in which it is to be placed.
3. Pick up only as much type as can be easily handled, holding
it in the left hand, nicks upward, as shown in Figure 2. Take
only two or three lines at a time until skill in handling has been
acquired.
4. Beginning at the right-hand end of the top line, grasp a few
letters, preferably a complete word, between the thumb and the
first and middle fingers of the right hand, separate the letters and
place them in the proper boxes. In taking off a word the type is
slid forward onto the thumb by the middle finger, held in place
by the first finger, and the two fingers then moving alternately
backward and forward over the thumb release the type, letter by
letter, allowing it to fall gently into the boxes (Figure 3). Pro-
ceed slowly at first, taking care that a letter is not released until
the hand is directly over the box in which it belongs.
