		- Tolbert Lanston, the inventor of the Monotype hot-metal composition system, born on 3 February at Troy in Ohio.
		The machine was later modified and improved upon by Frank H. Pierpont of the Monotype Corporation Ltd. Without the innovation of Benton, the realization of mechanical typesetting, with its heavy demands for multiple matrices, would have been held back.
		The line drawing of the machine accompanying the text (based on a photograph in the American source) shows a sprawling device that was slow and unwieldy.

		Altra macchina compositrice, di recente costruzione, che figurò all’Esposizione grafica del 1914 di Londra è la stringertype, che pare voglia riunire in un meccanismo solo l’opera del compositore e del fonditore monotipisti, producendo con il tocco dei tasti la composizione riunita e fusa.
		Questa macchina fu inventata nel 1887 (data del primo brevetto) dall’americano Tolbert Lanston (nato nel 1844, morto a Washington nel 1913): talvolta in commercio è denominata col nome del suo stesso inventore (è, perciò, detta LA LANSTON).
