...This machine was invented by the American Tolbert Lanston in 1885. Unlike the Linotype, which is a typesetting machine that casts one line at a time, this machine casts one character at a time and sets the plate, so the product name comes from the meaning of monotype (one type). This is the so-called Western monotype, but in Japan there is a machine called the Japanese monotype that casts and sets Japanese characters, but it is sometimes simply called monotype. Both types can produce typeset plates more efficiently than hand-typesetting, where each character is picked up and set, and are important in mechanizing the typesetting process, but the automation of typesetting is gradually shifting to computerized typesetting. ... *Some of the terminology used to refer to "Roman Monotype" is listed below.

…1885年にアメリカのランストンTolbert Lanstonが発明した機械で,鋳植機の一種であるライノタイプが1行分ずつ鋳造するのに対し,1字ずつ鋳造し植字して版を組む機構であるので,モノ(1個)タイプ(活字)の意をとり商品名とした。これはいわゆる欧文モノタイプであるが,日本では邦文モノタイプと称して和文を鋳造し植字する機械があるが,単にモノタイプということもある。いずれも,活字を1本ずつ拾って組む手組みに比べ,高能率で活字組版を作ることができ,活版工程を機械化するうえで重視されているが,文字組版の自動化としてはしだいに電算植字法に移行しつつある。… ※「欧文モノタイプ」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
