Quadding
It is one thing to set white space... and quite another
to have it stay white on the press. Low-Slug Quadding,
another applicable feature of the Linotype Self-Quadder,
prevents smudging on the press. It also forms a base for
engravings, eliminating in many cases the need to pull
slugs off the galley and cut them down to provide room
for a mounted engraving that may or may not justify
in the allotted space. Now the slugs can be the base,
with no question of accurate fitting or height to type.
Low-Slug Quadding on the Linotype is very simple.
Low mold-liners are provided and the vise jaws carry
detachable slides with projecting ribs which fit into the
mold, leaving a low shoulder on the blank end of the
slugs. In changing from one size to another, only the
liners and the detachable jaw slides are changed. The
vise jaw slides carry dovetail projections which fit into
the slots in the jaw itsel. They are slipped in and out in
a second.
