 Linotype machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The complexity of a Linotype machine was necessary not just so that it would place letter molds in the proper place as the operator typed on the keyboard, but so it could return the molds to the proper place in preparation for their next usage.
In addition, a Linotype machine could produce "justified" type (where the spaces on the lines are expanded so that the text fills the line to the right-hand margin).
The first two vertical rows were usually ETAOIN SHRDLU, a phrase that occasionally appeared in print because Linotype operators who made mistakes would run their fingers down the keyboard to fill out the line with nonsense, and sometimes the slug of type would accidentally get used.
