ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the orderly storage and protection of phototypesetting equipment such as fonts and width cards, comprises a cabinet with a closable storage chamber and having one or more generally upright panels within the chamber which are mounted for movement relative to the cabinet between retracted positions wherein the panels are contained wholly within the cabinet and extended positions wherein the panels extend at least partially out of the cabinet. The obverse and reverse sides of each panel are provided with a plurality of pairs of elongated strips, each pair adapted to retain a font therebetween. Each strip includes a mounting flange fixed to the panel and a font retaining web extending outwardly from the mounting flange and terminating in a section generally parallel to and spaced laterally from the panel, each pair of strips being positioned on the panel to define a narrow, elongated receiving compartment closely adjacent the panel and extending in a front-to-rearward direction in the chamber to receive and store both the font and the sheath in which it is normally kept. The compartments are arranged in vertically spaced horizontal rows, and each is constructed to receive and closely confine a single sheath and font in an upright plane parallel to the panel, the compartment preventing lateral movement or bending of the sheath or enclosed font. The door of the font storage cabinet may be provided with a plurality of containers for the width cards which are required for the fonts. Preferably the font storage cabinet is positioned at eye level, and if desired may be supported on a second cabinet which can be used to store other typesetting equipment and whose upper surface provides a convenient work counter on which the fonts and width cards can be assembled or inspected.
