This silent, black & white training film was created for The Lakeside Press in Chicago, Illinois. Using title cards, the film shows the step-by-step method of properly assembling hand type in a composing stick, kerning, display line composition, initials, cutting leads and slugs, spacing, and proofing.

This is a great film for learning the basics of hand composition for letterpress printing.

Ca: 1940s
