THE matter of lining type is so important that every printer should be familiar with
the details of our Point-Line, Point-Set, Point-Body Lining System. This system saves
the printer many a dollar in composition time, to say nothing of the increased beauty of
his work. Every printer has experienced trouble in bringing type on different bodies
to line, and in lining rule with type, and therefore knows the great loss of time
unavoidable when lining type is not available. Take a legal blank, for instance, in which
words in larger type that begin paragraphs, as well as some others, must be lined as
near as may be with the letter selected for the body of the work, and in which two
point brass rule must be lined with the type; hours of valuable time must be spent by
the compositor having only old-system material at his disposal, because of the necessity
for using paper and cardboard to bring about even a semblance of alignment between
the various faces and hetween type and rule. No printer worthy of the name will
willingly send out slip-shod work; hence the time spent in lining the different faces
with each other and with rule is a matter of serious moment. All such expense is
unnecessary now, thanks to the Uniform-Line type, and the printer is enabled to pocket
the money formerly expended on work of this kind. TheBarnhart Bros. & Spindler Point
Line, Point-Set, Point-Body Lining System embodies the following well-known and tried
lines: Uniform-Line.-The point line in each body to which the majority of faces are cast.
All roman and body faces are cast on this line, as well as the leaders, etc. This line
is so placed that properly proportioned descenders can be cast entirely upon the body,
free of kerning, from the smallest to largest size. All Uniform-Line cast faces will line
together body for body without justification; and, by the use of point leads or slugs,
one size body can be readily made to line with all other sizes. In the majority of cases
the difference in line between any two bodies is two points or a multiple thereof. Text
Line.-For such faces as Scripts, Texts, or the like, where a long descender is cut for
typographical effect, we have established a point line on each body always varying
above the Uniform-line two points or a multiple thereof. Hence any Text-Line face
may be made to line with any face cast on Uniform-line or Cap-line in the same way

different bodies are brought to alignment, and the result is obtained as easily. Cap-Line.-
