typographic device.

So far, to determine the typographical unit of measurement, fonts (font size) which are to be used for any printed matter "or which have been used in a finished printed matter, in particular so-called measuring rods, which indicate the heights of the various types of fonts" are a perfect assessment the law applicable in individual cases or applied font degree, however, was not possible sodaö one o f J relied mostly on estimates and comparative viewing * ·

The new door direction provides a simple remedy here. It consists of a rust-like sheet of sarton or other suitable material in which one another rectangular cutouts in the * different from each other Heights of the fonts that occur in practice Web separated from each other, are arranged.

In Figure 1, such a measuring device is shown in natural size as an example. The cardboard sheet 1 contains 13 cutouts or recesses 2 arranged one above the other, the uppermost / (3) of which ^{corresponds to the font size * 6 points 11} , while the lowest (4) reflects the height of the font size "6Q points * * The recesses in between correspond to ä & n font sizes S. , 9, 10 _r 12 _t 14, 16, 20> 24-, 28, 56 and 48 points.

A further embodiment of such a 3? Old sheet can thereby be done that one of the rear sheet of the lengthways folded leaflet a little across the width of the front one The leaf protrudes, whereby the resulting Hand printed with lines on the top and bottom Band of the fvpen and the line height of the small letters (without ascender and descender) reproduce »In Fig« 2 this execution form is on a brachst tick of the device explained ί the front Sheet / 6 (hatched) is at 7 salt the rear BIaM 8 tied together. On the protruding band 9 is the line height (10) each designed as a surface, while lines 11 and 12
