The Lanston Monotype Machine Company was
founded by Tolbert Lanston in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1887.
Lanston had a patented mechanical method of punching out metal types
from cold strips of metal which were set (hence typesetting) into
a matrix for the printing press. In 1896 Lanston patented the first hot
metal typesetting machine and Monotype issued Modern Condensed, its
first typeface. The licenses for the Lanston type library have been
acquired by P22, a digital type foundry based in Buffalo, New York.In a
search for funding, the company set up a branch in London in 1897 under
the name Lanston Monotype Corporation Ltd. In 1899 a new factory was
built in Salfords near Redhill in Surrey where it has been located for
over a century. The company was of sufficient size to justify the
construction of its own railway station.The original Monotype machine
used “hot metal” to form individual letters. Thus spelling mistakes
could be corrected by adding or removing individual letters. This was
particularly useful for “quality” printing – such as books. In contrast,
the Linotype machine formed a complete line of type in one bar. Editing
these required replacing an entire line (and if the replacement ran
onto another line, the rest of the paragraph). But Linotype slugs were
easier to handle if moving a complete section of text around a page.
This was more useful for “quick” printing – such as newspapers
