Friday, December 4, 2020 -- Large Composition, continued
Description of a work around to casting large composition matrices on the Super Caster. What complicates the issue is that a Composition machine (with composition moulds) casts the type nick to the right, while Super Caster display moulds cast the nick to the left. This is based on how the type comes out of the caster to the operator. I maintain that if the Super Caster designer was left-handed, this discrepancy would have never existed in the first place.
