ATF matrices

ATF matrices for 24 pt Bulmer, punctuation from 24 pt Litho Roman, originated at Inland Type Foundry, cast by ATF. Mat on its side is the cap A showing the holes drilled in the mat for alignment on the Barth caster. The 18 1/2 on the cap M indicates that the set width of the chararcter is 18 and 1/2 points, and the 24 is the point size of the type. The lowercase h has a flash coating of chrome on it, otherwise it is the same as the other brass matrices. The Bulmer matrices were engraved in the 1927-28 time period.
