ABSTRACT:
The photocomposing machine is adapted to provide over eight thousand characters during operation. Characters are arranged in bands on a plurality of rotating drums, and multiple character keys and alternate keyboard displays are employed to permit selection of a specific character. Basic functional codes such as keyboard identification, type font identification, and shift identification are used to accomplish drum and band selection. A character position code is then used to locate the character in the selected band on the selected drum.
A method of justification for characters such as Japanese characters is employed wherein characters of different size are segregated into two groups. The space available from the characters in the smaller sized group is employed in justification.
