Ritual and religion in Iron Age Britain

A photocomposing machine is described for composing a master useful in the printing industry. A film record, suitably mounted, contains recordings of a type font, including an appropriate selection of alphanumeric characters or type faces which can be selectively employed to compose a printed page. A selected image from the film record is projected through one of the various lenses in a lens turret to project the image on the input end of a fiber optics bundle. The output end is movable in a stepping or scanning mode across a photosensitive recording material. The selected characters are recorded in sequence by selected stroboscopic lighting. An electronic control center receives a coded input signal and appropriately activates the strobe lamp and other components to provide selection of the alphanumeric character as well as timing of the selection to provide justification.
