COMPOSING FRAME.

This is a frame for supporting the type cases in a convenient position for reaching the types. The printers use for this purpose a frame about 4 feet 6 inches high, of about the same length, and adapted to holding four cases (as the trays containing the types are technically called;) the two lower cases are placed at an angle of 20 degrees, and the two upper at an angle of 55 ; this has the effect of bringing the whole of the types easily within reach of the compositor, who usually stands at his work.
